Optimizing Dynamic Hybrid Active-Passive Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces for Reliable Massive MIMO Communications under Hardware Impairments

Q: How can the proposed dynamic HRIS-aided massive MIMO system be extended to support multi-user downlink scenarios

To extend the proposed dynamic HRIS-aided massive MIMO system to support multi-user downlink scenarios, several key considerations need to be addressed. Firstly, in the downlink scenario, the base station (BS) needs to transmit data to multiple users simultaneously. This requires the optimization of beamforming techniques to ensure that the signals intended for different users do not interfere with each other. The dynamic HRIS can play a crucial role in shaping the wireless propagation environment to enhance the communication links between the BS and the users. In a multi-user downlink setup, the HRIS can dynamically adjust the phase of the incident signals to create favorable wireless channels for each user. By optimizing the reflection coefficients and amplitudes of the HRIS elements, the system can mitigate interference and improve the signal quality at the user terminals. Additionally, the selection of active and passive elements in the HRIS can be tailored to the specific spatial requirements of the downlink transmission, further enhancing the system performance. Furthermore, in the downlink scenario, the dynamic HRIS can be leveraged to implement user-specific beamforming, where the signals are tailored to the individual channel conditions of each user. This personalized beamforming approach can significantly improve the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) at the user devices, leading to better overall system performance in multi-user downlink scenarios.

Q: What are the potential tradeoffs between the number of active and passive elements in the HRIS, and how can they be optimized for different application requirements

The tradeoffs between the number of active and passive elements in the HRIS are crucial factors that impact the system performance and complexity. The selection of active elements introduces additional power consumption due to the need for power amplifiers, while passive elements contribute to the system's reflection capabilities without consuming extra power. Optimizing the balance between active and passive elements involves considering various factors such as power efficiency, hardware complexity, and system reliability. For applications where power consumption is a critical concern, a higher proportion of passive elements may be preferred to minimize energy usage. On the other hand, in scenarios where signal quality and reliability are paramount, a higher number of active elements with power amplifiers may be necessary to boost the signal strength and overcome channel impairments. The optimization of the active-passive element ratio can be tailored to specific application requirements. For example, in environments with high interference levels, a higher number of active elements may be beneficial to enhance signal reception. Conversely, in scenarios where energy efficiency is a priority, a larger proportion of passive elements can be utilized to reduce power consumption. By carefully balancing these tradeoffs based on the application needs, the HRIS system can be optimized for optimal performance.

Q: What are the implications of the proposed robust design on the energy efficiency and hardware complexity of the overall system, and how can these factors be further improved

The proposed robust design of the HRIS-aided massive MIMO system has significant implications for energy efficiency and hardware complexity. By jointly optimizing the receive antenna selection, reflection coefficients, and amplification factors under the power budget constraints, the system can achieve improved reliability and performance in the presence of hardware impairments. In terms of energy efficiency, the robust design ensures that the system operates at an optimal power level, maximizing the use of resources while minimizing energy consumption. By dynamically configuring the active and passive elements based on the channel conditions, the system can adapt to changing environments and allocate power effectively to enhance communication quality. Regarding hardware complexity, the proposed design may introduce additional computational requirements for optimization algorithms and control mechanisms. However, the benefits of improved system performance and reliability outweigh the potential increase in complexity. To further enhance energy efficiency and reduce hardware complexity, advanced algorithms and hardware implementations can be explored, such as low-power signal processing techniques and efficient control mechanisms. By continuously optimizing the system design and implementation, the energy efficiency and hardware complexity of the overall system can be further improved.

核心概念

The core message of this article is to investigate the channel-aware configuration of the receive antennas at the base station and the active/passive elements at the dynamic hybrid active-passive reconfigurable intelligent surface (HRIS) to improve the reliability of a massive MIMO system under the impact of hardware impairments.

要約

This article proposes a dynamic HRIS-aided uplink multi-user massive MIMO communication system to enhance the system performance. The key highlights and insights are:

The HRIS comprises both active and passive elements, where the location and number of active elements are optimized to compensate for the severe cascaded path loss.
The authors consider the impact of hardware impairments, including additive distortion noise and phase noise, in the realistic system implementation.
An average mean-square-error (MSE) minimization problem is formulated by jointly optimizing the receive antenna selection matrix at the base station, the reflection phase coefficients, the reflection amplitude matrix, and the mode selection matrix for the active and passive HRIS elements under the power budget constraint.
To tackle the non-convexity and intractability of the problem, a penalty-based exact block coordinate descent (BCD) algorithm is proposed to solve these variables alternately.
Numerical results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed dynamic HRIS scheme over the conventional passive RIS, active RIS, and fixed HRIS schemes, especially in the presence of hardware impairments.

The total power consumption at the HRIS is calculated as P = ̃p|ΛBhr|^2 + σ^2_a|BΛ|^2, where ̃p = p(1 + k^2_t) and k_t characterizes the distortion level.
The average received signal power at the base station is derived as E[yy^H] = AΩAH + σ^2_b I_L, where Ω = ̃p(hh^H + (1-ϵ^2_b)GHΛΦg_diag(hr_hr^H)(ΦΛ)^HG) + σ^2_aGHBΛΛ^HBHG.
