[en] Coordinated beamforming can significantly improve the performance of cellular systems through joint interference management. Unfortunately, such beamforming optimization problems are typically NP-hard in multicell scenarios, making heuristic beamforming the only feasible choice in practice. This paper proposes a new branch-reduce-and-bound algorithm that solves such optimization problems globally, with a complexity suitable for benchmarking and analysis. Compared to prior work, the framework handles robustness to uncertain intercell interference and numerical analysis shows higher efficiency.
