Abstract

In this work, a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system is studied with wireless energy harvesting (EH). Specifically, we focus on maximizing the harvested power at the receiver by joint optimization of the signal covariance, the phase shifter, and the power splitting factor, subject to the information rate and transmit power constraints. The formulated problem is hard to address due to the nonconcave objective and the nonconvex constraints. To tackle these challenges, an alternating optimization (AO) framework is proposed, where the phase shifter is solved by the penalty-based method. Simulation results validate the performance of the proposed approach.

Highlights

The reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has been treated as a promising technique for wireless networks, due to the low cost and energy-efficient merits [1]
The authors of [2, 3] studied the RIS-assisted multipleinput single-output (MISO) network and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) network, respectively, which suggested that joint active beamforming (BF) and phase shifter design can improve the performance of wireless networks. en, the work in [4] studied the joint active and passive BF design in RIS-aided wiretap wireless channels, which demonstrated the ability of RIS in improving the security of wireless networks
As for the radar signal detection, in [9], an estimation algorithm for MIMO radar was developed with arbitrary sensor geometry

The authors of [2, 3] studied the RIS-assisted multipleinput single-output (MISO) network and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) network, respectively, which suggested that joint active beamforming (BF) and phase shifter (passive BF) design can improve the performance of wireless networks. En, the work in [4] studied the joint active and passive BF design in RIS-aided wiretap wireless channels, which demonstrated the ability of RIS in improving the security of wireless networks.
