Joint beamforming design for distributed IRS assisted millimeter wave MU-MISO system by Zhongjie LI, Jiyuan XIONG, Wei GAO, Jinying WEI

“…A joint beamforming design scheme for distributed intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) assisted multi-user communication was proposed to solve the reliable communication problem in the downlink of millimeter-wave multi user-multiple input single output (MU-MISO) system in non line of sight scenarios.Considering the power and constant-mode constraints, the active beamforming of the base station and passive beamforming of multiple IRS were modeled as a joint non-convex optimization problem with the objective of user weighting and sum rate maximization.A closed-form fractional programming technique was used to decouple this joint optimization problem into an easily solvable equivalent problem.A non-convex block coordinate descent algorithm was used to alternately optimize the active beamforming and passive beamforming matrices according to the prox-linear rule and the distributed successive convex approximation rule.The convergence proof and complexity analysis of the proposed algorithm were also given.The simulation results demonstrate that the algorithm can converge fast, and can effectively improve the system transmission rate with reduced complexity compared with the two baseline algorithms.…”

Radio frequency energy harvesting-combined collaborative energy-saving computation offloading mechanism by Bei TANG, Qian WANG, Siguang CHEN

“…In order to fit the differentiated energy demands in vertical markets and ensure that internet of things (IoT) devices can hold an efficient and sustainable operation mode, a radio frequency energy harvesting-combined collaborative energy-saving computation offloading mechanism was studied.Specifically, a system energy consumption minimization problem was formulated under the joint optimization consideration of computation offloading decision, uplink bandwidth resource allocation, downlink bandwidth resource allocation and base station power splitting.Meanwhile, by combining the concept of penalty function, a new evaluation index was introduced, and then an adaptive particle swarm optimization-based collaborative energy saving computation offloading (APSO-CESCO) algorithm was proposed to solve the problem.The proposed algorithm constructed dynamic inertia weight and linearly adjusted penalty factor, which could alternate the spatial distribution density of the particle community in real-time during the iterative search process, and the optimal computation offloading policy with tolerable punishment could be well-generated.Furthermore, to prevent particles from exceeding exploration range, the velocity boundary was introduced which could also reduce the generation probability of invalid solutions and improve the actual exploration effectiveness.Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve higher convergence efficiency and solution accuracy, and compared with other common benchmark schemes, the system energy consumption can be reduced by 34.09%, 14.72%, and 6.86%, respectively.…”
