Abstract
This paper considers a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multicasting system aided by the intelligent reflecting surface (IRS). We aim to maximize the sum information rate via jointly designing the transmit precoding matrix and the reflecting coefficient (RC) matrix, subject to the transmit power constrains of the Tx and IRS. To tackle the nonconvex problem, we recast the original problem into an equivalent formulation by using some important facts about matrices and proposed a block coordinate descent (BCD) method to optimize the variables. Finally, simulation results validate the effectiveness of active IRS in enhancing the rate performance.
