Downlink power control and beamforming for a cooperative wireless system

joint power control and optimal beamforming (JPCOB) algorithms have been proposed in the literature as promising solutions to increase the capacity of wireless multimedia networks. A new development of one of such JPCOB techniques is presented in this paper, whose main feature is the possibility of downlink cooperative transmission between all the base stations involved. Some practical applications under adverse conditions of deep fading are discussed, and different realistic scenarios have been simulated in order to analyze the new algorithm performance. Finally, some interesting conclusions are stated.
