A fundamental challenge for millimeter wave (mmWave) communications lies in its sensitivity to the presence of blockages, which impact the connectivity of the communication links and ultimately the reliability of the entire network. In this paper, we analyze a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided mmWave communication system for enhancing the network reliability and connectivity in the presence of random blockages. To enhance the robustness of hybrid analog-digital beamforming in the presence of random blockages, we formulate a stochastic optimization problem based on the minimization of the sum outage probability. To tackle the proposed optimization problem, we introduce a low-complexity algorithm based on the stochastic block gradient descent method, which learns sensible blockage patterns without searching for all combinations of potentially blocked links. Numerical results confirm the performance benefits of the proposed algorithm in terms of outage probability and effective data rate.
In this work, we consider both channel estimation and reflection design problems in point-to-point reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided millimeter-wave (mmWave) MIMO communication systems. First, we show that by exploiting the low-rank natu
Channel estimation in the RIS-aided massive multiuser multiple-input single-output (MU-MISO) wireless communication systems is challenging due to the passive feature of RIS and the large number of reflecting elements that incur high channel estimatio
We consider the channel estimation problem in point-to-point reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided millimeter-wave (mmWave) MIMO systems. By exploiting the low-rank nature of mmWave channels in the angular domains, we propose a non-iterative
Perfect channel state information (CSI) is challenging to obtain due to the limited signal processing capability at the intelligent reflection surface (IRS). In this paper, we study the worst-case robust beamforming design for an IRS-aided multiuser
The concept of reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has been proposed to change the propagation of electromagnetic waves, e.g., reflection, diffraction, and refraction. To accomplish this goal, the phase values of the discrete RIS units need to b
