智能反射面增强无线网络:主被动联合波束形成设计

Intelligent Reflecting Surface Enhanced Wireless Network: Joint Active and Passive Beamforming Design

Qingqing Wu, Rui Zhang

摘要:

智能反射面(IRS)通过对信号传播进行智能重构以提高性能,在未来无线网络中具有广泛的应用前景。具体来说,IRS由大量低成本无源元件组成,每个无源元件以一定的相移反射入射信号,以协同实现波束形成并抑制一个或多个指定接收器处的干扰。在本文中,我们研究了一个IRS增强的点对点多输入单输出(MISO)无线系统,其中一个IRS被部署,以协助从多天线接入点(AP)到单天线用户的通信。结果,用户同时接收直接从AP发送的信号以及由IRS反射的信号。我们的目标是通过联合优化AP处的(主动)发射波束成形和IRS处的移相器的(被动)反射波束成形来最大化用户处的总接收信号功率。我们首先提出了一个集中式算法的基础上的半定松弛(SDR)的技术,假设全球信道状态信息(CSI)在IRS。由于集中式实现需要过多的信道估计和信号交换开销,我们进一步提出了一种低复杂度的分布式算法,其中AP和IRS以交替的方式独立地调整发射波束成形和相移,直到达到收敛。仿真结果表明,与基准方案相比,所提出的算法可以实现显着的性能增益。此外,它被验证,IRS是能够大大提高链路质量和/或覆盖率超过传统的设置没有IRS。

英文摘要:

Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is envisioned to have abundant applications in future wireless networks by smartly reconfiguring the signal propagation for performance enhancement. Specifically, an IRS consists of a large number of low-cost passive elements each reflecting the incident signal with a certain phase shift to collaboratively achieve beamforming and suppress interference at one or more designated receivers. In this paper, we study an IRS-enhanced point-to-point multiple-input single-output (MISO) wireless system where one IRS is deployed to assist in the communication from a multi-antenna access point (AP) to a single-antenna user. As a result, the user simultaneously receives the signal sent directly from the AP as well as that reflected by the IRS. We aim to maximize the total received signal power at the user by jointly optimizing the (active) transmit beamforming at the AP and (passive) reflect beamforming by the phase shifters at the IRS. We first propose a centralized algorithm based on the technique of semidefinite relaxation (SDR) by assuming the global channel state information (CSI) available at the IRS. Since the centralized implementation requires excessive channel estimation and signal exchange overheads, we further propose a low-complexity distributed algorithm where the AP and IRS independently adjust the transmit beamforming and the phase shifts in an alternating manner until the convergence is reached. Simulation results show that significant performance gains can be achieved by the proposed algorithms as compared to benchmark schemes. Moreover, it is verified that the IRS is able to drastically enhance the link quality and/or coverage over the conventional setup without the IRS.
