In this paper, a distributed cooperative multicell beamforming algorithm is proposed, and a detail analysis and solving method for instantaneous and statistical channel state information (CSI) are presented. Firstly, an improved distributed iterative beamforming algorithm is proposed for the multiple-input single-output interference channel (MISO IC) scenario which chooses virtual signal-to-interference-and-noise (SINR) as decision criterion to initialize and then iteratively solves the constrained optimization problem of maximizing the virtual SINR for a given level of generated interference to other users. Then, the algorithm is generalized to the multicell date sharing scenario with a heuristics power allocation scheme based on a viewpoint of the layered channel. Finally, the performance is illustrated through numerical simulations.
