In this paper, we study how to jointly design the phase shift of cascaded multi-IRSs and the precoding vector of the BS to improve the coverage in dense urban areas. We aim to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the user equipment (UE) received signal by employing this method. However, it is a constrained non-convex optimization problem and is NP-hard. In order to solve this problem, we simplify it by utilizing the characteristic of the mmWave wireless system to decompose the optimization problem into multiple sub-optimization problems. By employing the asymptotic orthogonality of wireless channel in mmWave system to solve the sub-optimization problems, we finally yield a closed-form sub-optimal solution. The simulation results verify that our solution can effectively improve the coverage of deep dense urban areas.

This paper considers a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided millimeter wave (mmWave) downlink communication system where hybrid analog-digital beamforming is employed at the base station (BS). We formulate a power minimization problem by jointly optimizing hybrid beamforming at the BS and the response matrix at the RIS, under signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) constraints. The problem is highly challenging due to the non-convex SINR constraints as well as the non-convex unit-modulus constraints for both the phase shifts at the RIS and the analog beamforming at the BS. A penalty-based algorithm in conjunction with the manifold optimization technique is proposed to handle the problem, followed by an individual optimization method with much lower complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the state-of-art algorithm. Results also show that the joint optimization of RIS response matrix and BS hybrid beamforming is much superior to individual optimization.
Recently, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) have drawn intensive attention to enhance the coverage of millimeter wave (mmWave) communication systems. However, existing works mainly consider the RIS as a whole uniform plane, which may be unrealistic to be installed on the facade of buildings when the RIS is extreme large. To address this problem, in this paper, we propose a sparse array of sub-surface (SAoS) architecture for RIS, which contains several rectangle shaped sub-surfaces termed as RIS tiles that can be sparsely deployed. An approximated ergodic spectral efficiency of the SAoS aided system is derived and the performance impact of the SAoS design is evaluated. Based on the approximated ergodic spectral efficiency, we obtain an optimal reflection coefficient design for each RIS tile. Analytical results show that the received signal-to-noise ratios can grow quadratically and linearly to the number of RIS elements under strong and weak LoS scenarios, respectively. Furthermore, we consider the visible region (VR) phenomenon in the SAoS aided mmWave system and find that the optimal distance between RIS tiles is supposed to yield a total SAoS VR nearly covering the whole blind coverage area. The numerical results verify the tightness of the approximated ergodic spectral efficiency and demonstrate the great system performance.
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) are able to provide passive beamforming gain via low-cost reflecting elements and hence improve wireless link quality. This work considers two-way passive beamforming design in RIS-aided frequency division duplexing (FDD) systems where the RIS reflection coefficients are the same for downlink and uplink and should be optimized for both directions simultaneously. We formulate a joint optimization of the transmit/receive beamformers at the base station (BS) and the RIS reflection coefficients. The objective is to maximize the weighted sum of the downlink and uplink rates, where the weighting parameter is adjustable to obtain different achievable downlink-uplink rate pairs. We develop an efficient manifold optimization algorithm to obtain a stationary solution. For comparison, we also introduce two heuristic designs based on one-way optimization, namely, time-sharing and phase-averaging. Simulation results show that the proposed manifold-based two-way optimization design significantly enlarges the achievable downlink-uplink rate region compared with the two heuristic designs. It is also shown that phase-averaging is superior to time-sharing when the number of RIS elements is large.
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications rely on directional transmissions to overcome severe path loss. Nevertheless, the use of narrow beams complicates the initial access procedure and increase the latency as the transmitter and receiver beams should be aligned for a proper link establishment. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of random beamforming for the cell-search phase of initial access. We develop a stochastic geometry framework to analyze the performance in terms of detection failure probability and expected latency of initial access as well as total data transmission. Meanwhile, we compare our scheme with the widely used exhaustive search and iterative search schemes, in both control plane and data plane. Our numerical results show that, compared to the other two schemes, random beamforming can substantially reduce the latency of initial access with comparable failure probability in dense networks. We show that the gain of the random beamforming is more prominent in light traffics and low-latency services. Our work demonstrates that developing complex cell-discovery algorithms may be unnecessary in dense mmWave networks and thus shed new lights on mmWave network design.
This paper studies the transmit beamforming in a downlink integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system, where a base station (BS) equipped with a uniform linear array (ULA) sends combined information-bearing and dedicated radar signals to simultaneously perform downlink multiuser communication and radar target sensing. Under this setup, we maximize the radar sensing performance (in terms of minimizing the beampattern matching errors or maximizing the minimum beampattern gains), subject to the communication users minimum signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) requirements and the BSs transmit power constraints. In particular, we consider two types of communication receivers, namely Type-I and Type-II receivers, which do not have and do have the capability of cancelling the interference from the {emph{a-priori}} known dedicated radar signals, respectively. Under both Type-I and Type-II receivers, the beampattern matching and minimum beampattern gain maximization problems are globally optimally solved via applying the semidefinite relaxation (SDR) technique together with the rigorous proof of the tightness of SDR for both Type-I and Type-II receivers under the two design criteria. It is shown that at the optimality, dedicated radar signals are not required with Type-I receivers under some specific conditions, while dedicated radar signals are always needed to enhance the performance with Type-II receivers. Numerical results show that the minimum beampattern gain maximization leads to significantly higher beampattern gains at the worst-case sensing angles with a much lower computational complexity than the beampattern matching design. It is also shown that by exploiting the capability of canceling the interference caused by the radar signals, the case with Type-II receivers results in better sensing performance than that with Type-I receivers and other conventional designs.
