摘要:

智能反射面(IRS)通过对无线传播环境的智能重构,提高了无线通信系统的容量和可靠性。为了实现IRS的有希望的增益,信道状态信息(CSI)的获取是必不可少的,然而,这实际上是困难的,因为IRS通常不采用任何发射/接收射频(RF)链,并且它具有有限的信号处理能力。本文研究了IRS辅助的多用户单输入多输出(SIMO)系统上行链路信道估计问题,提出了一种新的两阶段信道估计(2 PCE)策略,该策略可以减轻现有三阶段信道估计方法中误差传播带来的负面影响,先前阶段中的信道估计误差将恶化后续阶段中的估计性能,并且以与现有方法中相同量的信道训练开销来增强信道估计性能。此外,当采用最小二乘(LS)信道估计方法时,我们分析了2 PCE策略的渐近均方误差(MSE),并表明2 PCE策略可以优于现有的方法。最后,大量的仿真结果验证了2 PCE策略的有效性。

英文摘要:

Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) has emerged as a promising paradigm to improve the capacity and reliability of a wireless communication system by smartly reconfiguring the wireless propagation environment. To achieve the promising gains of IRS, the acquisition of the channel state information (CSI) is essential, which however is practically difficult since the IRS does not employ any transmit/receive radio frequency (RF) chains in general and it has limited signal processing capability. In this paper, we study the uplink channel estimation problem for an IRS-aided multiuser single-input multi-output (SIMO) system, and propose a novel two-phase channel estimation (2PCE) strategy which can alleviate the negative effects caused by error propagation in the existing three-phase channel estimation approach, i.e., the channel estimation errors in previous phases will deteriorate the estimation performance in later phases, and enhance the channel estimation performance with the same amount of channel training overhead as in the existing approach. Moreover, the asymptotic mean squared error (MSE) of the 2PCE strategy is analyzed when the least-square (LS) channel estimation method is employed, and we show that the 2PCE strategy can outperform the existing approach. Finally, extensive simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the 2PCE strategy.
