Description

IRS auxiliary communication service quality fairness combined beam forming optimization method and device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of wireless communication, in particular to a joint beamforming optimization method for IRS auxiliary communication service quality fairness.
Background
The 5G age of 1000-fold network capacity improvement and wireless network connection of 1000 billions of devices have been gradually realized, which benefits from a variety of advanced physical layer technologies, such as ultra-dense small cell networks, large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO), millimeter wave communication, and the like. These technologies also suffer from critical issues such as high implementation complexity, high hardware cost, and extremely high energy consumption.
In addition, while 5G physical layer technology is generally well suited to space-time varying wireless transmission environments, the transmission of such signals is random in nature and largely uncontrollable. Based on the above elicitations, intelligent reflector-assisted communication techniques have been developed as a promising new technology for dynamically configuring wireless network propagation environments. Specifically, the IRS is a plane consisting of a large number of low cost passive reflective elements, each capable of independently inducing amplitude and phase changes to the incident signal, thereby cooperatively achieving fine-grained three-dimensional reflected beam forming. In sharp contrast to existing transmitter, receiver wireless link adaptation techniques, IRSs actively configure the wireless channel between them through highly controllable and intelligent signal reflection. This provides a new degree of freedom for further improving wireless link performance and paves the way for implementing intelligent and programmable wireless environments. By properly adjusting the three-dimensional passive beam forming, the signals reflected by the IRS can be subjected to enhanced superposition with signals of other paths so as to improve the expected signal power of the receiver or destructively cancel unwanted signals such as co-channel interference and the like. Since the IRS eliminates the use of transmit radio frequency chains, operating only in short distances, it can be densely deployed, has scalable cost and low power consumption characteristics, and does not require complex interference management between passive IRSs.
IRS has wide application scene and practical significance. Such as: when a user is in a communication blind zone, i.e. its direct link with the serving base station is severely blocked by an obstacle. At this point, deploying IRSs with an explicit relationship to the base station and the user helps the smart signal bypass the obstacle, creating a virtual line-of-sight link between them. This is particularly useful for coverage extension of millimeter wave communications that are extremely susceptible to indoor blockage. In addition, IRS can also be used in application scenarios that improve physical layer security. For example, when the link distance from the base station to the eavesdropper is smaller than the distance from the eavesdropper to the legal user or the eavesdropper and the legal user are in the same direction, if the IRS is deployed near the eavesdropper, the signals from the base station at the eavesdropper can be counteracted by tuning the signals reflected by the IRS, so that information leakage is effectively reduced, and high-density communication is realized. IRS may also be used to enhance signal reception by edge users deployed at the cell edge or to suppress co-channel interference by neighboring base stations. In addition, the IRS can be applied to the Internet of things network to realize Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transmission (SWIPT) of various devices, and the large aperture of the IRS is utilized to compensate a large amount of power loss transmitted to nearby Internet of things devices in a long distance through passive beam forming, so that the wireless power transmission efficiency is improved. It should be noted that the above applications related to IRS assisted communications must effectively configure the phase offset of their reflecting units to mine the performance gain of the IRS, otherwise introducing the IRS may be counterproductive.
Currently, most IRS related applications focus on wireless network unicast traffic patterns, where service providers transmit each independent data stream to their own users, which can cause serious co-channel interference to active co-channel users nearby, while service providers are also faced with tremendous data stream pressures. Therefore, for the IRS auxiliary communication multi-group and multi-broadcast application scenario, it is necessary to design a low-complexity joint beamforming optimization method with fair service quality for the terminal user and improve the received SINR of the user with the worst link quality in the network.

The result shows that the minimum SINR value of the network user of the proposal is increased iteratively and can be converged rapidly. This is because algorithm 2 performs phase shift optimization by maximizing the SINR margin, and can find a more efficient optimization strategy in each iteration to improve the minimum SINR of the network user, thereby speeding up the iteration process.
Fig. 5 shows the relationship between the minimum SINR of the implementation case network user and the maximum transmit power at the AP, where m=4, g=2. First, it can be observed that the minimum network signal-to-noise ratio of the schemes increases with increasing P max. In addition, the minimum SINR of the users of the proposed scheme is obviously superior to that of the other two reference schemes, and particularly when N is larger, the larger P max is, the larger the performance gain of the proposed scheme is, which shows that IRS has strong capability of enhancing signals and suppressing interference. Furthermore, the performance of the RPS scheme is similar to that of the NoIRS scheme, which means that the performance gain of deploying IRS can only be obtained by the transmit and reflect joint beamforming optimization design.
Fig. 6 shows the variation of the minimum SINR of an embodiment network user versus the number of IRS reflection units, where P max = 30dbm and m = 4. The results show that as N increases, the performance gain of the minimum network SINR of the proposed solution gradually increases, indicating that an IRS with a larger N can obtain a larger reflected beamforming gain by focusing more signal power and suppressing more interference power on the IRS-user link simultaneously. On the other hand, the RPS scheme performs almost the same as the IRS-free scheme, because the randomly configured phase shifted IRS can boost or suppress the received signal power at the user.
Fig. 7 depicts the variation of the minimum SINR of an embodiment network user with the number of AP transmit antennas, where P max = 30dbm and g = 2. It can be seen that the minimum SINR for the network users for both schemes increases with increasing M, the more transmit antennas, the higher the spatial diversity gain. It is also observed that the network user minimum SINR value increases with increasing N. This also verifies that the larger the reflective element size in the IRS, the higher the reflective beamforming gain. Furthermore, it can be observed that the performance gain provided by this scheme becomes smaller as M increases, which is reasonable because the performance gain provided by the transmit antenna array dominates.
Fig. 8 and 9 are graphs of minimum SINR of an embodiment network user as a function of the number of groups and the number of users per group, respectively, where m=8, n=16, p max =40 dBm. As can be seen from fig. 7, the network user minimum SINR values for all schemes are decreasing as the number of groups increases. This is because more active groups will cause more severe co-channel interference. Similarly, in fig. 8, the network user minimum SINR value shows the same trend as the number of users per group increases. However, due to the joint design of the proposed scheme for transmitting and reflecting beam forming, the performance of this scheme is improved by 3-5 dB over other schemes. Both figures verify that deploying IRSs in a multi-group, multicast network can achieve significant reflected beam forming gain.
Fig. 10 illustrates the variation of the minimum SINR of the network user with N for the implementation case under different P max settings, with m=4, g=2. It can be observed that the proposed solution can obtain the same performance as the No IRS solution at P max =30 dBm or P max =33 dBm, when P max =27 dBm and n=10 or n=19; furthermore, the proposed scheme can achieve the same performance as the No IRS scheme at P max =30 dBm, when P max =25 dBm and n=17.
Fig. 11 shows the variation of the minimum SINR of the network user with N for the implementation case with different numbers of AP transmit antennas M, and P max = 30dbm, g = 2. As can be seen, the performance of the proposed scheme can reach the same performance as the NoIRS scheme under m=16 (or m=20) condition with the combination of m=12 and n=9 (or n=16). Furthermore, the proposed scheme can obtain the same performance as the No IRS scheme at m=16 under the combined condition of m=8 and n=20. The performance analysis in fig. 9 and 10 shows that deploying some IRSs with low cost reflection units in a conventional network can achieve good reflection beamforming gain while also reducing the power consumption of the base station and the number of relatively expensive transmit antennas.
