| contents | The joint design of analog beamforming and power allocation is investigated for a single radio-frequency chain multiuser time-division multiple access system under a max-min signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) criterion. A hardware-efficient phased-array architecture is considered, where the beamforming vector is shared by all users and is subject to constant-modulus constraints. For any fixed analog beamformer, the optimal power allocation is first derived in closed form, by which the original problem is reduced to phase-shift optimization only. Then, globally optimal branch-and-bound (BB) algorithms are developed for discrete and continuous phase shifts. Numerical results show that the proposed BB algorithms achieve the global optimum and provide reliable benchmarks for evaluating the performance gap of low-complexity alternating-optimization methods. |
