Multi-Functional Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface Assisted Security Communication Systems Under Imperfect CSI of Eavesdroppers by Rui-Bao Zhang, Dian-Wu Yue, Yu Sun

“…For this nonconvex optimization problem, we combine the penalty dual decomposition method, weighted minimum mean square error (WMMSE) method, S-Procedure Lemma, and general sign-definiteness to design an efficient solution. Simulation results show that: 1) All MF-RIS schemes achieve better secrecy performance gains than other existing RIS designs; and 2) Compared to the optimal independent phase shifts, coupled phase shifts of MF-RIS only lead to a slight performance loss.…”
