Abstract
En 中文
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) have emerged as a promising technology for enhancing wireless communication by intelligently shaping the propagation environment. However, non-line-of-sight (NLoS) blockage between the access point (AP) and user equipment (UE) can still significantly degrade communication performance. This paper investigates the channel degradation caused by NLoS blockage in a single-antenna AP and multi-antenna UE system and proposes a joint power allocation and phase optimization scheme based on RIS and deep reinforcement learning (DRL). Under a composite channel model with direct and RIS-reflected links, the objective is to maximize the weighted sum rate subject to total power constraints, unit-modulus constraints on RIS elements, and quality of service (QoS) requirements. Due to the coupled variables and the non-convex unit-modulus constraint, conventional alternating optimization (AO) and convex approximation methods usually incur high complexity and yield suboptimal solutions. To address this issue, a DRL algorithm based on an Actor–Critic architecture is developed to learn adaptive power allocation and reflection coefficient adjustment policies through interaction with the environment, without requiring full global channel state information (CSI). Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves higher signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and throughput while providing faster convergence and better generalization than existing methods.
