Title
Reflection and Relay Dual-Functional RIS Assisted MU-MISO Systems
Abstract
Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is a promising solution to adaptively manipulate wireless propagation with low-cost passive devices. However, the traditional passive RIS can offer sufficient signal strength only when receivers are very close to it. Moreover, the users at the back side of it cannot be well served due to its reflective property. In this paper we introduce a novel reflection and relay dual-functional RIS architecture, which can simultaneously realize passive reflection and active relay functionalities. The problem of joint transmit beamforming and dual-functional RIS design is investigated to maximize the achievable sum-rate of a multiuser multiple-input single-output (MU-MISO) system. Based on fractional programming (FP) theory and majorization-minimization (MM) technique, we propose an efficient iterative transmit beamforming and RIS design algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the introduced dual-functional RIS architecture and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
