Abstract

In this paper, a radio-frequency (RF) domain symbol level precoding technique is developed for reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted downlink multiuser multiple-input single-output (MU-MISO) systems. We study a system with a base station (BS) employing an analog architecture formed by a phase shifting network which serves a number of single antenna users with the help of a RIS. Such an architecture facilitates significant reductions in power consumption and hardware complexity. The objective of this paper is to jointly derive the optimal RF precoder, RIS reflection matrix and receive processing coefficients, subject to constraints on the BS analog architecture, the total transmit power, and the structure of the RIS reflection matrix. To that end, a difficult nonconvex optimization problem is formulated and solved. An efficient algorithmic solution is developed for the considered problem. Numerical results show that the derived solution offers significant energy efficiency gains when compared to non-RIS-assisted approaches.
