QoS Considerations for Full Duplex Multiuser MIMO Systems

We consider a full-duplex (FD) multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system where the base-station (BS) serves multiple uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) users simultaneously. We address the quality-of-service (QoS) problem in which the transmitted sum-power at the BS and UL users is minimized subject to minimum rate constraints at each user of the system. We first propose a centralized solution based on sequential convex programming (SCP), and then propose a distributed solution by using interference prices exchanged among the nodes to represent the cost of received interference. The proposed designs are evaluated via numerical simulations.
