Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of information security, specifically relating to a robust energy efficiency optimization method for a multi-antenna communication system based on IRS assistance. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of 5G technology, the system capacity and transmission performance of current cellular communication systems have been significantly improved. However, the transmission link from the base station to the receiver can be blocked by obstacles, resulting in poor transmission quality. In recent years, Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS) has been proposed as a novel technology to address these problems. Unlike traditional reflective surface communication, IRS can reflect signals by adjusting the phase shift or amplitude of the reflective element. This reflected signal can both enhance the signal strength of the target user and cancel out the signal of an eavesdropper, thereby improving system security. Therefore, research on IRS is of great significance.
[0003] Energy efficiency is a crucial performance indicator for communications, as improved energy efficiency translates to increased transmission rates and reduced power consumption. Furthermore, cellular communication systems suffer from low security due to eavesdropping, leading to extensive research on the security and energy efficiency optimization of IRS-assisted multi-antenna cellular communication systems. However, existing work assumes ideal channel conditions. In reality, due to complex electromagnetic environments and channel delays, base stations struggle to accurately obtain channel gain.
[0004] In summary, the problem with existing technologies is that, under the influence of channel uncertainty and eavesdroppers, the communication quality of legitimate users and the energy efficiency of multi-antenna cellular systems cannot be guaranteed. Summary of the Invention
