A Dynamic Subarray Structure in Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces for TeraHertz Communication Systems
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) has become a popular technology to improve the capability of a THz multiuser Multi-input multi-output (MIMO) communication system. THz wave characteristics, on the other hand, restrict THz beam coverage on RIS when using a uniform planar array (UPA) antenna. In this study, we propose a dynamic RIS subarray structure to improve the performance of a THz MIMO communication system. In more details, an RIS is divided into several RIS subarrays according to the number of users. Each RIS subarray is paired with a user and only reflects beams to the corresponding user. Based on the structure of RIS, we first propose a weighted minimum mean square error - RIS local search (WMMSE-LS) scheme, which requires that each RIS element has limited phase shifts. To improve the joint beamforming performance, we further develop an adaptive Block Coordinate Descent(BCD)-aided algorithm, an iterative optimization method. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the dynamic RIS subarray structure and the adaptive BCD-aided joint beamforming scheme and also show the merit of our proposed system.
