IRS-Assisted Millimeter Wave Communications: Joint Power Allocation and Beamforming Design

Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) technology offers more feasible propagation paths for millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication systems to overcome blockage than existing technologies. In this paper, we consider a downlink wireless system with the IRS and formulate a joint power allocation and beamforming design problem to maximize the weighted sum-rate, which is a multi-variable optimization problem. To solve the problem, we propose a novel alternating manifold optimization based beamforming algorithm. Simulation results show that our proposed optimization algorithm outperforms existing algorithms significantly in improving the weighted sum-rate of the wireless communication system.

Uplink Achievable Rate Maximization for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface Aided Millimeter Wave Systems with Resolution-Adaptive ADCs

In this letter, we investigate the uplink of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided millimeter-wave (mmWave) multi-user system. In the considered system, however, problems with hardware cost and power consumption arise when massive antenna arrays coupled with power-demanding analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are employed. To account for practical hardware complexity, we consider that the access point (AP) is equipped with resolution-adaptive analog-to-digital converters (RADCs). We maximize the achievable rate under hardware constraints by jointly optimizing the ADC quantization bits, the RIS phase shifts, and the beam selection matrix. Due to the non-convexity of the feasible set and objective function, the formulated problem is non-convex and difficult to solve. To efficiently tackle this problem, a block coordinated descent (BCD)-based algorithm is proposed. Simulations demonstrate that an RIS can mitigate the hardware loss due to use of RADCs, and that the proposed BCD-based algorithm outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms.

Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces Aided mmWave NOMA: Joint Power Allocation,Phase Shifts, and Hybrid Beamforming Optimization

In this paper, an reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided millimeter wave (mmWave) non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system is considered. In particular, we consider an RIS-aided mmWave-NOMA downlink system with a hybrid beamforming structure. To maximize the achievable sum-rate under a minimum rate constraint for the users and a minimum transmit power constraint, a joint RIS phase shifts, hybrid beamforming, and power allocation problem is formulated. To solve this non-convex optimization problem, we develop an alternating optimization algorithm. Specifically, first, the non-convex problem is transformed into three subproblems, i.e., power allocation, joint phase shifts and analog beamforming optimization, and digital beamforming design. Then, we solve the power allocation problem under fixed phase shifts of the RIS and hybrid beamforming. Finally, given the power allocation matrix, an alternating manifold optimization (AMO)-based method and a successive convex approximation (SCA)-based method are utilized to design the phase shifts, analog beamforming, and transmit beamforming, respectively. Numerical results reveal that the proposed alternating optimization algorithm outperforms state-of-the-art schemes in terms of sum-rate. Moreover, compared to a conventional mmWave-NOMA system without RIS, the proposed RIS-aided mmWave-NOMA system is capable of improving the achievable sum-rate of the system.
