This paper investigates distributed MIMO precoding design to maximize the weighted sum rate in a heterogeneous network where the multiple input multiple output full-duplex (MIMO-FD) small cells reuse the downlink spectrum of the macro base-station (BS) to exchange backhaul information. The multi-antenna BS transmits signals to the cellular users using the dirty paper coding technique and the MIMO-FD small cells apply FD precoding structures to effectively balance the received signal, the self-interference (SI), and the co-channel interference (CCI). Since the optimization problem is shown to be nonconvex, obtaining the global optimum is challenging. A low-complexity solution with distributed implementation is introduced with proved convergence. By applying the successive convex approximation technique and the duality between the broadcast channel and the multiple access channel, the original nonconvex problem is decomposed into a sequence of convex subproblems, which can be solved analytically and separately at each small cell and macro BS with limited channel state information exchange. Simulation results confirm the convergence and demonstrate the benefits of the introduced algorithm. It is shown that the SI and CCI can be suppressed effectively with sufficient cancellation power and number of transmit antennas at the FD small cells.
