Low Complexity Antenna Selection for an intelligent reflecting surface aided communication system.
# 125
Abstract
Intelligent reflecting surface, which uses passive reflective elements instead of active radio frequency (RF) chains to reduce cost and energy consumption, is being envisioned as a key enabler for the next generation wireless communication. Transmit antenna selection (AS) is a multiple antenna technology that reduces the number of RF chains at the transmitter while harnessing the benefits of multiple antennas. This talk will focus on addressing the main challenge of the number of pilot transmissions required to combine the benefits of AS and intelligent reflecting surfaces. For single AS, I will derive the optimal AS rule and propose another simpler AS rule that significantly reduces the number of pilot transmissions. For subset AS, I will discuss a manifold optimization based optimal selection algorithm and an alternating optimization based iterative algorithm, which reduces the subset search complexity. The performance comparison towards the end shows the near-optimal nature of the proposed low-complexity selection algorithms.
