Abstract

In this paper, we investigate an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) aided millimeter wave (mmWave) communication system using hybrid precoding of subarray-connected structure at the base station. To maximize the received signal power of the user, we jointly optimize the active beamforming at the BS and passive beamforming at the IRS, respectively. Exploiting the rank-one property of mmWave channels, we transform the original problem into an approximate optimization problem and give the closed-form solution of the approximated problem. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme can effectively improve the received signal quality of the user with a high energy efficiency.
