Abstract

In a wireless system with Intelligent Reflective Surfaces (IRS) containing many passive elements, we consider the problem of channel estimation. All the links from the transmitter to the receiver via each IRS elements (or groups) are estimated. We show that the estimation performance are dependent on the setting of the IRS, and design an optimal channel estimation scheme where the IRS elements follow an optimal series of activation patterns. The optimal design is guided by results for the minimum variance unbiased estimation. The IRS setting during the channel estimation period mimics the discrete Fourier transforms. We show theoretically and with simulations that the estimation variance is one order smaller compared to existing methods with on/off IRS activation patterns as proposed in the literature.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
