This paper studies the joint beamforming and power control in a multiuser distributed antenna uplink network, wherein the number of users and the number of separately located antennas grow large with ratio being bounded. We consider the SINR fairness problem under individual power constraint and present a distributed iterative algorithm. This algorithm, though converging to the instantaneous optimal solution, requires instantaneous power update. In order to design a low complexity algorithm that achieves optimality in the asymptotic sense, we leverage the large system structure to derive an asymptotic solution requiring only channel statistics. In this algorithm, the asymptotic power is slowly updated and the asymptotic beamformer can be obtained in a non-iterative manner. The convergence property of the proposed algorithm is also studied.
