Iterative transceiver beamformer design for multi-pair two-way distributed relay networks

In this paper the transceiver beamforming design problem for multipair two-way distributed relay networks is studied, where each multi-antenna user in one user group communicate with its partner in the other user group via distributed single-antenna relay nodes. To achieve a satisfactory performance while relieving relay nodes of the usual computation task, two iteration-based transceiver beamforming schemes are proposed to coordinate the operation of the users from the two user groups, where the beamforming vectors are determined at the user nodes through an iterative process. Simulation results indicate that both schemes can achieve considerable SINR improvement after only a few iterations compared to the existing zero-forcing scheme.
