Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) are promising for providing additional propagation paths for users in a dead zone to enhance the robustness of wireless transmission against shielding. Nevertheless, the channel estimation overhead proportionately increases with the number of IRSs, making it difficult to handle multiple IRS. Therefore, we propose a transmission control procedure that aimed at reducing channel estimation overhead in distributed IRS communication systems, where a multi-antenna base station serves multiple user equipment (UE) with multi-user multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MU-MIMO-OFDM). First, a novel selective reflection control (SRC) method is proposed, in which each IRS controls its reflection coefficient in relation to only part of the UEs, and not for all UEs. Simulation results confirm that the proposed method based on the SRC satisfied the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio requirement of the UE, which suffers from severe radio wave attenuation with less channel estimation overhead. The proposed method also show its capability in suppressing the proportional growth of channel estimation overhead with the increase in the number of IRS, which may accelerate the large scale deployment of IRS.
