Title
Joint User Association and Passive Beamforming in Heterogeneous Networks With Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces
Abstract
In this letter, the joint design of user association (UA) and passive beamforming (PBF) has been investigated for heterogeneous networks equipped with reconfigurable intelligent surfaces. Firstly, a closed-form lower bound of ergodic rate is derived using statistical channel state information and adopting the maximum ratio transmission precoding. After that, a joint UA and PBF problem is formulate...
