Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and more specifically, to a method, system, and storage medium for weighted and rate optimization of wireless networks assisted by intelligent reflectors. Background Technology
[0002] For sixth-generation and future mobile communication systems, multi-antenna systems are a key technology, promising to improve the performance of traditional communication systems by utilizing spatial degrees of freedom. However, obstacles still arise in multi-antenna systems due to the presence of buildings, trees, vehicles, and even humans. Smart reflectors, which can actively reconfigure the wireless propagation environment, offer a promising solution to this problem. Specifically, smart reflectors consist of a large number of intelligent, controllable, low-cost reflective elements that independently induce phase and amplitude changes in the incident signal. Smart reflectors can be viewed as a complement to existing wireless communication networks, and from an operational perspective, they can be integrated into buildings or existing wireless infrastructure.
[0003] Improving the power performance and spectral efficiency of received signals by jointly optimizing the transmit beamforming of the base station and the reflective beamforming of the intelligent reflector is the main research content of intelligent reflector-assisted communication systems. Considering different user fairness requirements, the formulation of next-generation wireless network optimization must be approached from the perspective of the entire system. In this paper, a multi-antenna base station provides communication services to multiple single-antenna mobile users, thus forming an intelligent reflector-assisted multi-input single-output multi-user downlink communication system. By providing a high-quality virtual link from the base station to the users, the intelligent reflector is deployed on the facades of surrounding buildings to help the base station overcome unfavorable propagation conditions. Through joint resource allocation of active beamforming at the base station and passive beamforming at the intelligent reflector, the goal of this paper is to maximize the weighted sum rate of mobile users. For intelligent reflector-assisted wireless communication scenarios, Yulan Gao et al., in their paper "Reconfigurable intelligentsurface for MISO systems with proportional rate constraints" published in the IEEE International Conference on Communications (2020: 1-7), explored the spectral efficiency optimization problem of intelligent reflector-assisted multi-input single-output multi-user downlink communication systems, but did not address the weighted sum rate optimization problem for mobile users. Yun Wu et al.'s paper "Average sum-rate maximization of coupled phase-shift STAR-RIS-assisted SWIPT-NOMA system" published in IEEE Communications Letters (2024) explores the average sum-rate optimization problem of a wireless power-carrying communication system with non-orthogonal multiple access assisted by a smart reflector, but does not consider the weighted sum-rate optimization problem.

Currently, there is a lack of research on weighted and rate optimization methods for wireless networks assisted by intelligent reflectors. Summary of the Invention

[0126] Example 1
[0127] This embodiment focuses on a smart reflector-assisted wireless network communication system. The parameter settings for the weighted sum rate optimization method for smart reflector-assisted wireless networks based on the cultured Remora fish mechanism are as follows: cultured Remora fish population size F = 50, auditory feature factor = 2, and selected random angles between 0 and 360 degrees. To facilitate comparison of the performance of the proposed cultured Remora fish mechanism, the traditional Remora fish algorithm is compared. [1] This method is applied to solve the weighted sum rate optimization problem of intelligent reflector-assisted wireless networks for comparison. The population size is set to the same value for both methods, the maximum number of iterations is 1000, and all results are the average of 100 simulation experiments. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the simulation results, the weighted sum rate of the Cultural Remora Fish algorithm increases with the increase of the number of base station antennas and the number of smart reflector reflector units. Clearly, the Cultural Remora Fish algorithm of this invention significantly outperforms the Remora Fish algorithm in terms of convergence performance. Figure 4 As shown in the simulation, the number of base station antennas increased from 3 to 10. With the increase in the number of base station antennas, the weighted sum rate generally maintained an increasing trend, while the proposed Remora fish algorithm consistently maintained optimal performance. When the number of base station antennas is fixed, the weighted sum rate can be increased by increasing the number of reflective elements on the smart reflector. For example... Figure 5 As shown in the simulation, as the number of reflective elements increases from 10 to 80, the weighted sum rate maintains an increasing trend, and the proposed Remora fish algorithm consistently performs best. When the number of reflective elements on the smart reflector is fixed, the weighted sum rate can be increased by increasing the number of base station antennas.
