Maximin SNR Beamforming Strategies for Two-Way Relay Channels
Wenjin Wang, Shi Hong Jin, Fu‐Chun Zheng · IEEE Communications Letters · 2012
In this letter, we consider beamforming strategies in amplified-and-forward (AF) two-way relay channels, where two terminals and the relay are equipped with multiple antennas. Our aim is to optimize the worse end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio of the two links so that the reliability of both terminals can be guaranteed. We show that the optimization problem can be recast as a generalized fractional programming and be solved by using the Dinkelbach-type procedure combined with semidefinite programming. Simulation results confirm the efficiency of the proposed strategies.
