Abstract
This paper investigates the robust relay beamforming design for the multiantenna nonregenerative cognitive relay networks (CRNs). Firstly, it is proved that the optimal beamforming matrix could be simplified as the product of a variable vector and the conjugate transposition of a known channel response vector. Then, by exploiting the optimal beamforming matrix with simplified structure, an improved robust beamforming design is proposed. Analysis and simulation results show that, compared with the existing suboptimal scheme, the proposed method can achieve higher worst-case channel capacity with lower computational complexity.
