Closed-form parameterization of the Pareto boundary for the two-user MISO interference channel

In this paper, we study an achievable rate region of the two-user multiple-input single-output (MISO) interference channel. We find the transmit beamforming vectors that achieve Pareto-optimal points. We do so, by deriving a sufficient condition for Pareto optimality. Given the beamforming vector of one transmitter, this condition enables us to determine the beamforming vector of the other transmitter that forms a Pareto-optimal pair. The latter can be done in closed form by solving a cubic equation. The result is validated against state-of-the-art methods via numerical illustrations.
