IRS-Enhanced Wideband MU-MISO-OFDM Communication Systems

Understand

Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is considered as an enabling technology for future wireless communication systems since it can intelligently change the wireless environment to improve the communication performance.

• In this paper, an IRS-enhanced wideband multiuser multi-input single-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MU-MISO-OFDM) system is investigated.
• We aim to jointly design the transmit beamformer and the reflection of IRS to maximize the average sum-rate over all subcarriers.
• With the aid of the relationship between sum-rate maximization and mean square error (MSE) minimization, an efficient joint beamformer and IRS design algorithm is developed.
