A comparison in data achievement between two well‐known algorithms with simulated and real measured data is presented. The algorithms maximise the data rate in cooperative base stations (BS) multiple‐input–single‐output scenario. Weighted sum‐minimum mean square error algorithm could be used in multiple‐input–multiple‐output scenarios, but it has lower performance than virtual signal‐to‐interference plus noise ratio algorithm in theory and practice. A real measurement environment consisting of two BS and two users have been studied to evaluate the simulation results.
