多用户通信中的锚点辅助智能反射面信道估计

Anchor-Assisted Intelligent Reflecting Surface Channel Estimation for Multiuser Communications

Xinrong Guan, Qingqing Wu, Rui Zhang

摘要:

由于智能反射面(IRS)的无源特性,信道估计是IRS辅助无线网络中的一个基本挑战。特别地,随着IRS反射元件的数量和/或IRS服务用户的数量的增加,信道训练开销变得过高。为了解决这一问题,本文提出了一种新的锚辅助两阶段信道估计方案,其中两个锚节点,即A1和A2,部署在IRS附近,以帮助基站(BS)获取级联的BS-IRS-用户信道。具体地,在第一阶段中,部分信道状态信息(CSI),即,通过分别估计BS-IRS-A1/A2信道和A1-IRS-A2信道来获得BS-IRS链路的逐单元信道增益平方。然后,在第二阶段中,通过利用对所有用户共同的BS-IRS信道的这种部分知识,有效地估计各个级联的BS-IRS用户信道。仿真结果表明,所提出的锚辅助信道估计方案是能够实现可比的均方误差(MSE)的性能相比,传统的计划,但与显着减少的信道训练时间。

英文摘要:

Due to the passive nature of Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS), channel estimation is a fundamental challenge in IRS-aided wireless networks. Particularly, as the number of IRS reflecting elements and/or that of IRS-served users increase, the channel training overhead becomes excessively high. To tackle this challenge, we propose in this paper a new anchor-assisted two-phase channel estimation scheme, where two anchor nodes, namely A1 and A2, are deployed near the IRS for helping the base station (BS) to acquire the cascaded BS-IRS-user channels. Specifically, in the first phase, the partial channel state information (CSI), i.e., the element-wise channel gain square, of the BS-IRS link is obtained by estimating the BS-IRS-A1/A2 channels and the A1-IRS-A2 channel, separately. Then, in the second phase, by leveraging such partial knowledge of the BS-IRS channel that is common to all users, the individual cascaded BS-IRS-user channels are efficiently estimated. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed anchor-assisted channel estimation scheme is able to achieve comparable mean-squared error (MSE) performance as compared to the conventional scheme, but with significantly reduced channel training time.
