通过具有相位误差的大反射面的通信

Communication Through a Large Reflecting Surface With Phase Errors

Mihai-Alin Badiu, Justin P. Coon

摘要:

假设源和目的地之间的通信由大反射表面(LRS)支持,该大反射表面由具有可调节反射相位的反射器元件阵列组成。通过知道由通过LRS的复合传播信道引起的相移,可以配置反射器的相位,使得信号在目的地相干地组合,这提高了通信性能。然而,完美的相位估计或反射相位的高精度配置是不可行的。在本文中,我们研究了通过LRS的相位误差具有一般分布的传输。我们表明,基于LRS的复合信道是等价的点对点Nakagami衰落信道。这种等效表示允许性能的理论分析,并可以帮助系统设计人员研究性能,相位误差的分布和反射器的数量之间的相互作用。有限数量的反射器的错误概率的数值评估证实了理论预测,并表明,该性能是非常强大的相位误差。

英文摘要:

Assume the communication between a source and a destination is supported by a large reflecting surface (LRS), which consists of an array of reflector elements with adjustable reflection phases. By knowing the phase shifts induced by the composite propagation channels through the LRS, the phases of the reflectors can be configured such that the signals combine coherently at the destination, which improves the communication performance. However, perfect phase estimation or high-precision configuration of the reflection phases is unfeasible. In this paper, we study the transmission through an LRS with phase errors that have a generic distribution. We show that the LRS-based composite channel is equivalent to a point-to-point Nakagami fading channel. This equivalent representation allows for theoretical analysis of the performance and can help the system designer study the interplay between performance, the distribution of phase errors, and the number of reflectors. Numerical evaluation of the error probability for a limited number of reflectors confirms the theoretical prediction and shows that the performance is remarkably robust against the phase errors.
