RIS-Aided Hybrid Precoder Design With Anti-Blocking Scheme in High-Speed Railway

Abstract

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided high-speed railway (HSR) communication system is an efficient and promising way to slove the signal blocking by tuning passive signal reflection or refraction. However, the complexity HSR environment lead unstable communication links and low quality of service. Therefore, this paper studies a RIS-aided hybrid precoding for anti-blocking HSR network to enhance the sum rate of mobile relays when signal blocking. To describe the blocking scenes clearly, the blocking model is established and the closed form of the blocking probability is derived. Based on the blocking model, the non-convex blocking optimal problem is decoupled by the block coordinate descent method with the jointly optimization problem about hybrid precoder and reflect angle matrix of RIS. Then, the successive convex approximation and prox-linear method are utilized to solve the constant modulus constraint of RIS and hybrid precoding constraints. Simulation results show that the proposed RIS-aided anti-blocking hybrid precoding scheme can achieve higher sum rate than the traditional methods in blockage scenarios. Moreover, the proposed algorithm brings better performance of blocking probability and outage probability in high-speed scenarios.
