Further Information
Our aim in this paper is to define a novel beamforming approach in wireless multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) code-division-multiple-access (CDMA) relay networks, which involves communication between multiple source-destination pairs. It is assumed that full channel state information of source-relay and relay-destination channels are available. Our design consists of a two-step amplify-and-forward protocol. The first step includes signal transmission from the sources to the MIMO relay, and the second step contains transmitting a version of the linear precoded signal to the destinations. Beamforming is investigated only in MIMO-relay node to reduce end user's hardware complexity and save the computational power. Accordingly, the optimization problem is defined to find the MIMO relay beamforming coefficients that minimize total relay transmit power by keeping the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of all destinations above a certain threshold value. It is shown that such optimization problem is a non-convex quadratically constrained quadratic programming, which is NP-hard in general. However, by relaxing this problem to a semi-definite programming problem, the problem can be solved efficiently. Simulation results verify the performance gain implied by MIMO-CDMA relay system compared to the non-CDMA coded system.
