Joint Optimization of Transmit and Receive Movable Antennas for Enhancing Multicast Communications

Q: How can the proposed algorithm be extended to handle scenarios with imperfect channel state information

To extend the proposed algorithm to handle scenarios with imperfect channel state information, we can incorporate channel estimation techniques into the optimization process. Specifically, we can introduce estimation errors or uncertainties in the channel matrices used in the optimization problem. This can be achieved by adding a term representing the estimation error to the channel matrices, thus making the optimization problem robust to imperfect channel state information. Additionally, techniques such as pilot-based channel estimation or feedback mechanisms can be integrated into the algorithm to update the channel state information iteratively during the optimization process. By considering the impact of channel estimation errors, the algorithm can be adapted to work effectively in scenarios with imperfect channel state information.

The core message of this paper is to maximize the minimum weighted signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) among all users in a multi-group multicast communication system by jointly optimizing the positions of transmit and receive movable antennas, as well as the transmit beamforming.

Tiivistelmä

This paper investigates an movable antenna (MA)-enabled multi-group multicast communication system, where a base station (BS) equipped with multiple transmit MAs serves multiple groups of single-MA users. The goal is to maximize the minimum weighted SINR among all users by jointly optimizing the positions of transmit and receive MAs, as well as the transmit beamforming.

The authors first consider the simplified single-group scenario and propose an efficient algorithm based on alternating optimization (AO) and successive convex approximation (SCA) techniques. Specifically, when optimizing transmit or receive MA positions, they construct a concave lower bound for the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of each user by applying only the second-order Taylor expansion, which is more effective than existing works utilizing two-step approximations.

The proposed design is then extended to the general multi-group scenario by introducing slack variables. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms benchmark schemes in terms of achievable max-min SNR/SINR. Additionally, the proposed algorithm can notably reduce the required amount of transmit power or antennas for achieving a target level of max-min SNR/SINR performance compared to benchmark schemes.

Furthermore, the authors find that under the assumption that the transmit region and each receive region have identical sizes, employing only receive MAs results in higher max-min SNR/SINR than employing only transmit MAs when the number of transmit MAs is less than or equal to the number of users, and this remains true even when the number of transmit MAs slightly exceeds the number of users.

The maximum instantaneous transmit power of the BS is denoted as P_max.
The minimum distance between each pair of transmit MAs is denoted as D.

"Movable antenna (MA) is an emerging technology that utilizes localized antenna movement to pursue better channel conditions for enhancing communication performance."
"MAs offer superior signal power enhancement, interference mitigation, flexible beamforming, and spatial multiplexing capabilities compared to fixed-position antennas (FPAs)."
"The positioning of each transmit MA needs to weigh the trade-offs among the channel conditions of all users, and improving the SNR/SINR of one user often comes at the cost of decreasing the SNR/SINR of others."
