We present a distributed joint power control and transmit beamforming selection scheme for multiple antenna wireless ad hoc networks. Under the total network power minimization criterion, a joint iterative beamforming and power control algorithm is proposed to reduce mutual interference at each node. Total network transmit power is minimized while ensuring a constant received signal-to-interference and noise (SINR) at each receiver. First, transmit beamformers are selected from a predefined codebook to minimize the total power in a cooperative fashion. We also study the interference impaired network as a noncooperative beamforming game. By selecting transmit beamformers judiciously and performing power control, convergence of noncooperative beamformer games are guaranteed throughout the iterations. The noncooperative distributed algorithm is compared with centralized and cooperative solutions through simulation results. ©2010 IEEE.
