In the considered model, one IRS is deployed to assist the communication from a multi-antenna base station (BS) to the multi-antenna users that are clustered into several groups. Our goal is to maximize the sum rate of all users by jointly optimizing the transmit beamforming matrices of the BS, the receive beamforming matrices of the users, and the phase shifts of the IRS. To solve this non-convex problem, we first use a block diagonalization method to represent the beamforming matrices of the BS and the users by the phase shifts of the IRS. Then, substituting the expressions of the beamforming matrices of the BS and the users, the original sum-rate maximization problem can be transformed into a problem that only needs to optimize the phase shifts of the IRS. To solve the transformed problem, a manifold method is used. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can achieve up to 13.3 % gain in terms of the sum rate of all users compared to the algorithm that optimizes the hybrid beamforming matrices of the BS and the users using our proposed scheme and randomly determines the phase shifts of the IRS. date: 2022-01-01 date_type: published publisher: IEEE official_url: https://doi.org/10.1109/GLOBECOM48099.2022.10000992 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2004805 doi: 10.1109/GLOBECOM48099.2022.10000992 isbn_13: 9781665435406 lyricists_name: Wong, Kai-Kit lyricists_id: KWONG98 actors_name: Wong, Kai-Kit actors_id: KWONG98 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public pres_type: paper publication: 2022 IEEE Global Communications Conference, GLOBECOM 2022 - Proceedings place_of_pub: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil pagerange: 5838-5843 event_title: GLOBECOM 2022 - 2022 IEEE Global Communications Conference event_dates: 4 Dec 2022 - 8 Dec 2022 book_title: 2022 IEEE Global Communications Conference, GLOBECOM 2022 - Proceedings citation: Zhang, S; Yang, Z; Chen, M; Liu, D; Wong, KK; Poor, HV; (2022) Performance Optimization for Intelligent Reflecting Surface Assisted Multicast MIMO Networks.
