Hybrid Evolutionary-Based Sparse Channel Estimation for IRS-Assisted mmWave MIMO Systems

Abstract

The intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted millimeter wave (mmWave) communication system has emerged as a promising technology for coverage extension and capacity enhancement. Prior works on IRS have mostly assumed perfect channel state information (CSI), which facilitates in deriving the upper-bound performance but is difficult to realize in practice due to passive elements of IRS without signal processing capabilities. In this paper, we propose a compressive channel estimation techniques for IRS-assisted mmWave multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) system. To reduce the training overhead, the inherent sparsity of mmWave channels is exploited. By utilizing the properties of Kronecker products, IRS-assisted mmWave channel is converted into a sparse signal recovery problem, which involves two competing cost function terms (measurement error and sparsity term). Existing sparse recovery algorithms solve the combined contradictory objectives function using a regularization parameter, which leads to a suboptimal solution. To address this concern, a hybrid multiobjective evolutionary paradigm is developed to solve the sparse recovery problem, which can overcome the difficulty in the choice of regularization parameter value. Simulation results show that under a wide range of simulation settings, the proposed method achieves competitive error performance compared to existing channel estimation methods.

A Tutorial on Mathematical Modeling of 5G/6G Millimeter Wave and Terahertz Cellular Systems

“…2) Metrics of Interest: In our work we consider systemlevel performance metrics of interest. Contrarily to physical and link-level studies concentrating on optimizing a certain functionality of interest, e.g., [218], [219], these type of models characterize application layer performance as a function of lower layer mechanisms, channel specifics, and traffic type. The latter defines not only service models but performance measures of interest that are provided in Table VII.…”

“…According to the statistical characteristics and change trend of the difference degree, the largest group of points is selected as the cluster center. After obtaining the cluster center, the network big data are divided into different clusters according to the adjacent distance label so as to realize clustering [50][51][52].…”

Machine Learning for Intelligent-Reflecting-Surface-Based Wireless Communication towards 6G: A Review

“…IRS is a thin metasurface made of a dielectric material capable of reflecting electromagnetic (EM) waves in an organized way. Thus, IRS is considered to be a software-controlled smart radio environment that can mitigate multipath problems and is effective for millimeter wave or terahertz communication [ 6 ]. In recent years, the application of IRS devices has dramatically increased, owing to its excellent convenience in wireless communication, such as mobile edge computing, simultaneous wireless information and power transfer, enhanced physical layer security, device-to-device communication, mmWave massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), unmanned aerial vehicles communication for smart cities, and intelligent internet of things (IoT) applications for wireless sensor networks [ 7 ].…”
