Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
A point-to-point movable element (ME) enabled reconfigurable intelligent surface (ME-RIS) communication system is investigated, where each element position can be flexibly adjusted to create favorable channel conditions. For maximizing the communication rate, an efficient ME position optimization approach is proposed. Specifically, by characterizing the cascaded channel power gain in an element-wise manner, the position of each ME is iteratively updated by invoking the successive convex approximation method. Numerical results unveil that: 1) proposed element-wise ME position optimization algorithm outperforms the standard gradient ascent algorithm (GAA) which is easily trapped in local optima and 2) ME-RIS significantly improves the communication rate compared to the conventional RIS with fixed-position elements.
