  • Improved Artificial Rabbits Algorithm for Positioning Optimization and Energy Control in RIS Multiuser Wireless Communication Systems
Title: Improved Artificial Rabbits Algorithm for Positioning Optimization and Energy Control in RIS Multiuser Wireless Communication Systems
An innovative method to raise wireless communication systems’ efficiency is to use Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS). Unfortunately, determining the quantity and locations of the RIS elements continues to be difficult, requiring a clever optimization framework. Concerning the practical overlap between the related multi-RISs in wireless communication systems, this article attempts to minimize the number of RISs while considering the average possible data rate and technological constraints. In this regard, a novel enhanced artificial rabbits algorithm (EARA) is developed to minimize the number of RISs to be installed. The novel EARA is inspired by the natural survival strategies of rabbits, including detour eating and random concealment. A more effective method of exploring the search space around the best solution so far is produced by the suggested EARA by combining an upgraded collaborative searching operator (CSO) arrangement. Also, an adaptive time function is included to increase the effect of this exploitation tactic by the increasing number of iterations. The simulation results show that the suggested EARA is highly efficient in reaching the maximum success rate of producing the smallest number of RISs under various feasible rate threshold settings. When EARA is compared to standard artificial rabbits optimizer (ARO), growth optimizer (GO), artificial ecosystem optimizer (AEO), and particle swarm optimization (PSO), the average number of RISs is improved by 5.32%, 6.7%, 16.73%, and 20.06%, respectively. Furthermore, according to simulation data, the EARA outperforms AEO, GO, ARO, and PSO in terms of success rate at δ=1.4 by 6.66%, 6.66%, 45.43%, and 99%,  more » « less

    Employing Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) is an advanced strategy to enhance the efficiency of wireless communication systems. However, the number and positions of the RISs elements are still challenging and require a smart optimization framework. This paper aims to optimize the number of RISs subject to the technical limitations of the average achievable data rate with consideration of the practical overlapping between the associated multi-RISs in wireless communication systems. In this regard, the Differential evolution optimizer (DEO) algorithm is created to minimize the number of RIS devices to be installed. Accordingly, the number, positions, and phase shift matrix coefficients of RISs are then jointly optimized using the intended DEO. Also, it is contrasted to several recent algorithms, including Particle swarm optimization (PSO), Gradient-based optimizer (GBO), Growth optimizer (GO), and Seahorse optimization (SHO). The outcomes from the simulation demonstrate the high efficiency of the proposed DEO and GO in obtaining a 100% feasibility rate for finding the minimum number of RISs under different threshold values of the achievable rates. PSO scores a comparable result of 99.09%, while SHO and GBO attain poor rates of 66.36% and 53.94%, respectively. Nevertheless, the excellence of the created DEO becomes evident through having the lowest average number of RISs when compared to the other algorithms. Numerically, the DEO drives improvements by 5.13%, 15.68%, 30.58%, and 51.01% compared to GO, PSO, SHO and GBO, respectively.

    In response to the evolving landscape of wireless communication networks and the escalating demand for unprecedented wireless connectivity performance in the forthcoming 6G era, this paper proposes a new 6G architecture to enhance the wireless network's sum rate performance. Therefore, we introduce an aerial base station (ABS) network with reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) while leveraging the multi-users multiple-input single-output (MU-MISO) antenna technology. The motivation behind our proposal stems from the imperative to address critical challenges in contemporary wireless networks and harness emerging technologies for substantial performance gains. We employ deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to jointly optimize the ABS trajectories, the active beamforming weights, and the RIS phase shifts. Simulation results show that this joint optimization effectively improves the system's sum rate while meeting minimum quality of service (QoS) requirements for diverse mobile users.

    The rapid and low-power configuration capabilities of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) have made them an attractive option for future wireless networks in terms of energy efficiency. They have the ability to greatly increase connection and facilitate low-latency communications. However, because RIS-based systems often have a large number of RIS unit elements and unique hardware constraints, accurate and low-overhead channel estimate remains a crucial challenge. In this study, we offer a channel estimation framework and concentrate on the uplink of a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) communication system driven by RIS. Our primary goal is to enhance the achievable rate and system capacity. We derive a closed-form deterministic expression for the uplink achievable rate under practical scenarios where channel state information (CSI) is not directly known and must be estimated. In contrast to previous studies assuming perfect CSI, our approach incorporates the channel estimation process, leading to a more realistic performance assessment. Extensive simulations validate the tightness of our derived expression compared to the actual achievable rate across various system parameters (with discrepancies typically within 2-5%). The results highlight the significant impact of RIS on system performance enhancement, even with imperfect CSI. Our findings provide crucial insights into the deployment and optimization of RIS-assisted multi-user wireless networks, underscoring their potential for substantial improvements in rate and capacity.

    Future wireless networks could benefit from the energy-efficient, low-latency, and scalable deployments that Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) offer. However, the creation of an effective low overhead channel estimate technique is a major obstacle in RIS-assisted systems, especially given the high number of RIS components and intrinsic hardware constraints. This research examines the uplink of a RIS-empowered multi-user MIMO communication system and presents a novel semi-blind channel estimate approach. Unlike current approaches, which rely on pilot-based channel estimation, our methodology uses data to estimate channels, considerably enhancing the achievable rate. We provide a closed-form deterministic expression for the uplink achievable rate in actual settings where the channel state information (CSI) must be estimated rather than assumed perfect. The results of the simulations show that the formula obtained is accurate, with a close alignment between the deterministic and actual achievable rates (generally between 2 5% deviations). The proposed approach outperforms traditional approaches, resulting in rate increases of up to 35–40%, especially in instances with more RIS elements. These findings illustrate RIS technology's tremendous potential to improve system capacity and coverage, providing useful insights for optimizing RIS adoption in future wireless networks.

    A reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is a prospective wireless technology that enhances wireless channel quality. An RIS is often equipped with passive array of elements and provides cost and power-efficient solutions for coverage extension of wireless communication systems. Without any radio frequency (RF) chains or computing resources, however, the RIS requires control information to be sent to it from an external unit, e.g., a base station (BS). The control information can be delivered by wired or wireless channels, and the BS must be aware of the RIS and the RIS-related channel conditions in order to effectively configure its behavior. Recent works have introduced hybrid RIS structures possessing a few active elements that can sense and digitally process received data. Here, we propose the operation of an entirely autonomous RIS that operates without a control link between the RIS and BS. Using a few sensing elements, the autonomous RIS employs a deep Q network (DQN) based on reinforcement learning in order to enhance the sum rate of the network. Our results illustrate the potential of deploying autonomous RISs in wireless networks with essentially no network overhead.
