Interference Leakage Minimization in RIS-assisted MIMO Interference Channels
arXiv:2303.03014
Abstract
We address the problem of interference leakage (IL) minimization in the -user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) interference channel (IC) assisted by a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). We describe an iterative algorithm based on block coordinate descent to minimize the IL cost function. A reformulation of the problem provides a geometric interpretation and shows interesting connections with envelope precoding and phase-only zero-forcing beamforming problems. As a result of this analysis, we derive a set of necessary (but not sufficient) conditions for a phase-optimized RIS to be able to perfectly cancel the interference on the -user MIMO IC.
