A Novel RIS-Aided EMF-Aware Beamforming Using Directional Spreading, Truncation and Boosting

This paper addresses a drawback of massive multiple-input multiple-output Maximum Ratio Transmission beamforming. In some propagation conditions, when the base station serves the same target user equipment for a long period, it reduces the transmit power (and degrades the received power) to avoid creating high exposure regions located in the vicinity of the antenna and concentrated in few directions (corresponding to the best propagation paths between the antenna and the receiver). In this paper, we propose a novel electromagnetic field aware beamforming scheme, which (i) spreads the beamforming radiation pattern in the angular domain by adding artificial propagation paths thanks to reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, (ii) truncates the pattern in strong directions, and (iii) boosts it in weak directions. Compared to existing solutions, it maximizes the received power. However, it also consumes more power. Finally, truncation alone is the best trade-off between received power and energy efficiency, under exposure constrain.
