摘要: 为了增强微小区内超可靠低时延通信(URLLC)业务在异构网络场景下的传输性能，该文提出一种基于智能超表面(IRS)辅助通信网络下最大化用户和速率的波束成形算法。异构网络中微小区采用短包通信技术，在保证宏小区用户通信质量的前提下，使用IRS提高微小区用户在一定解码错误概率下的短数据包传输性能，建立一个联合优化波束向量和IRS相移向量的微小区用户和速率最大化问题模型。通过交替固定优化变量的方式，将该非凸优化问题拆分为两个子问题，利用逐次凸逼近(SCA)的方法将原问题转换成凸优化问题，并利用交替优化算法对该问题进行求解。仿真结果表明，该算法通过部署IRS可以有效减弱异构场景下对于微小区用户的干扰，同时由于IRS的部署能够有效优化波束成形向量进而提高微小区用户的短包传输性能，并且IRS的通信增强效果与微小区用户的解码错误概率以及IRS反射单元的数量有直接关系。

Abstract: In order to enhance the transmission performance of Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) services in small cell in heterogeneous network scenarios, this paper proposes a beamforming algorithm based on Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS) assisted communication network to maximize users sum rates. Small cells in heterogeneous networks adopt short packet communication technology. On the premise of ensuring the communication quality of macro cell users, IRS is used to improve the short packet transmission performance of micro cell users under a certain decoding error probability, and a joint optimization beamforming vector and IRS are established. A problem is modeled for jointly optimizing beamforming vector and IRS phase shift vector. The non-convex optimization problem is split into two sub-problems by alternately fixing the optimization variables. The original problem is transformed into a convex optimization problem by using the Successive Convex Approximation (SCA) method, and the problem is solved by the alternating optimization algorithm. The simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively reduce the interference to small cell users in heterogeneous scenarios by deploying IRS, because the deployment of IRS can effectively optimize the beamforming vector and improve the short-packet transmission performance of small cell users, and the communication of IRS is enhanced. The effect is directly related to the decoding error probability of small cell users and the number of IRS reflection units. -
