Optimizing Energy Efficiency in Large RIS-Aided Multi-User MISO Communication Systems
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, we address a Multi-User Multiple-Input Single-Output (MU-MISO) communication system enhanced by a Large Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (LRIS). The LRIS significantly improves beamforming gain and communication reliability, boosting system performance through increased signal manipulation flexibility due to its extensive number of reflecting elements. However, the deployment of a very large RIS brings challenges such as high power consumption and complexity in element management, necessitating a balance between size benefits and energy efficiency (EE). To mitigate these challenges, we propose partitioning the LRIS into smaller sub-RIS units. This approach, which involves beamforming and collaboration among multiple sub-RISs, aims to enhance scalability while maintaining EE. Unlike previous studies where all elements are continuously active, our method introduces a novel sub-RIS on-off mechanism for flexible activation and deactivation. We formulate an optimization problem to maximize total EE and use alternating optimization-based iterative algorithms, along with quadratic transform, variable substitution, and convex approximation methods, to derive sub-optimal solutions. Our analysis demonstrates that the sub-RIS architecture results in minimal performance degradation and significantly improves energy efficiency through flexible activation and deactivation of sub-RIS units.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
