Robust SINR-constrained MISO downlink beamforming: When is semidefinite programming relaxation tight?

Abstract

We consider the robust beamforming problem under imperfect channel state information (CSI) subject to SINR constraints in a downlink multiuser MISO system. One popular approach to solve this nonconvex optimization problem is via semidefinite relaxation (SDR). In this paper, we prove that the SDR method is tight when the channel uncertainty bound is small or when the base station is equipped with two antennas.
