摘要

摘要: 针对可重构智能超表面(RIS)辅助多用户系统中基站和RIS联合波束成形设计问题，该文提出通用低复杂度联合波束成形设计方案。首先，分析RIS辅助多用户系统以最大化和数据速率为目标的联合波束成形非凸优化问题。其次，利用波束导向矢量近似正交性设计RIS反射矩阵，进一步利用迫零方法设计基站发射波束成形，并对多用户进行功率分配优化。最后，讨论该方案适用性并对比该方案的计算复杂度相比现有方案降低了一个数量级。仿真结果表明，所提通用低复杂度波束成形设计可以获得较高和数据速率，并且采用最优功率分配可以进一步提高和数据速率。此外，仿真结果和理论分析都表明系统和数据速率随RIS位置的变化而变化，该结论为RIS位置的选择提供参考依据。

Abstract: General low-complexity joint beamforming designs are proposed for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) assisted multi-user systems. First, the non-convex optimization problem of joint beamforming design is analyzed to maximize sum data rate for RIS-aided multi-user systems. Second, the RIS reflection matrix is designed by using the approximation orthogonality of the beam steering vectors, and the transmit beamforming at the base station is derived from the zero forcing method, and the power allocation is optimized for multiple users. Finally, it is found that the proposed scheme has wide applicability and an order of magnitude reduction on computational complexity than that of existing work. Numerical results show that the proposed beamforming design can achieve high sum data rate, which can be further improved by employing the optimal power allocation. Besides, both the simulation results and theoretical analysis indicate that the sum data rate changes with the RIS location, which provides reference standards for the selection of RIS location.
