英文摘要：

In the forthcoming 6G era, Future Public transport vehicles (F-PTV), such as buses, trains, etc. will be designed to cater to the communication needs of the commuters that will carry numerous smart devices (smartphones, e-bands etc.). These battery-powered devices need frequent recharging. Since recharging facilities are not readily available while commuting, we envision F-PTVs that will provide in-vehicle recharging via Wireless Energy Transfer (WET) through in-vehicle Access Points. F-PTV will also be internally coated with Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS) that reflects incident radio waves towards the intended device to improve signal strength at the receiver, for both information and energy transmissions. F-PTVs will also be equipped with Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) servers to also serve multiple purposes, including a reduction in devices' task completion latency and offering in-vehicle Cloud services. MEC-server offloading will also relieve smart devices' processors off intensive tasks to preserve battery power. The challenges associated with the IRS-aided integrated MEC-WET model within F-PTV are also discussed. We present the simulation to show the effectiveness of such a model for F-PTV.

Intelligent reflecting surface aided wireless networks-Harris Hawks optimization for beamforming design

Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS) is envisioned to be a promising green and cost-effective solution to enhance wireless network performance by smartly reconfiguring the signal propagation. In this paper, we study an IRS-aided multiple-input single-output wireless network where a multi-antenna Access Point (AP) services a single-antenna user assisted by an IRS. The goal is to maximize the received signal power by jointly optimizing the transmit beamforming at the AP and the reflection coefficient at the IRS. The formulated optimization problem is non-convex and subject to constraints. We ado…

Intelligent Reflecting Surface-aided URLLC in a Factory Automation Scenario

Different from conventional wired line connections, industrial control through wireless transmission is widely regarded as a promising solution due to its reduced cost, increased long-term reliability, and enhanced reliability. However, mission-critical applications impose stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements that entail ultra-reliability low-latency communications (URLLC). The primary feature of URLLC is that the blocklength of channel codes is short, and the conventional Shannon's Capacity is not applicable. In this paper, we consider the URLLC in a factory automation (FA) scenari…

Intelligent Reflecting Surface Aided Wireless Energy and Information Transmission: An Overview

Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is a promising technology for achieving spectrum and energy efficient wireless networks cost-effectively. Most existing works on IRS have focused on exploiting IRS to enhance the performance of wireless communication or wireless information transmission (WIT), while its potential for boosting the efficiency of radio-frequency (RF) wireless energy transmission (WET) still remains largely open. Although IRS-aided WET shares similar characteristics with IRS-aided WIT, they differ fundamentally in terms of design objective, receiver architecture, and practical …

Wireless Communication Aided by Intelligent Reflecting Surface: Active or Passive?

In this letter, we consider an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-aided wireless communication system, where an active or passive IRS is employed to assist the communication between an access point and a user. First, we consider the downlink/uplink communication separately and optimize the IRS placement for rate maximization with an active or passive IRS. We show that the active IRS should be deployed closer to the receiver with the IRS's decreasing amplification power; while in contrast, the passive IRS should be deployed near either the transmitter or receiver. Moreover, with optimized IRS…

Wireless Network Coding with Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces

Conventional wireless techniques are becoming inadequate for beyond fifth-generation (5G) networks due to latency and bandwidth considerations. To improve the error performance and throughput of wireless communication systems, we propose physical layer network coding (PNC) in an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted environment. We consider an IRS-aided butterfly network, where we propose an algorithm for obtaining the optimal IRS phases. Also, analytic expressions for the bit error rate (BER) are derived. The numerical results demonstrate that the proposed scheme significantly improve…

To this end, we first propose a \emph{customized} IRS deployment strategy, where the active IRSs are uniformly deployed within a ring concentric with the cell to serve the users far from the base station. Next, given the Nakagami-$m$ fading channel, we characte…

Optimizing Intelligent Reflecting Surface-Base Station Association for Mobile Networks

This paper studies a multi-Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces (IRSs)-assisted wireless network consisting of multiple base stations (BSs) serving a set of mobile users. We focus on the IRS-BS association problem in which multiple BSs compete with each other for controlling the phase shifts of a limited number of IRSs to maximize the long-term downlink data rate for the associated users. We propose MDLBI, a Multi-agent Deep Reinforcement Learning-based BS-IRS association scheme that optimizes the BS-IRS association as well as the phase-shift of each IRS when being associated with different BSs.
