Intelligent Reflecting Surface Assisted Multi-Cluster AirComp via Dynamic Beamforming
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This letter studies an multi-cluster over-the-air computation (AirComp) system, where an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) assists the signal transmission from devices to an access point (AP). The clusters are activated to compute heterogeneous functions in a time-division manner. Specifically, two types of IRS beamforming (BF) schemes are proposed to reveal the performance-cost tradeoff. One is the cluster-adaptive BF scheme, where each BF pattern is dedicated to one cluster, and the other is the dynamic BF scheme, which is applied to any number of IRS BF patterns. By deeply exploiting their inherent properties, both generic and low-complexity algorithms are proposed in which the IRS BF patterns, time and power resource allocation are jointly optimized. Numerical results show that IRS can significantly enhance the function computation performance, and demonstrate that the dynamic IRS BF scheme with half of the total IRS BF patterns can achieve near-optimal performance which can be deemed as a cost-efficient approach for IRS-aided multi-cluster AirComp systems.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
