Original abstract
Flexible intelligent metasurface (FIM) technology has emerged as a promising technology for enhancing wireless communication performance by dynamically reshaping the propagation environment. Compared with conventional rigid reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), an FIM is composed of multiple electromagnetic (EM) scattering units, each of which can flexibly modify its displacement in the direction normal to the surface, thereby cooperatively morphing the overall surface shape. This additional degree of freedom (DoF) enables improved beamforming and interference mitigation, particularly in complex multicell scenarios. In this paper, an optimization problem for maximizing the weighted sum-rate (WSR) in a multicell multi-user multiple-input single-output (MU-MISO) system assisted by an FIM deployed at the cell boundary is investigated. We jointly optimize the transmit beamforming at the base station (BS), the phase shift matrix, and the FIM surface shape, subject to constraints on the transmit power budget, unit-modulus reflection coefficients, and surface shape morphing range. Due to the non-convex objective function with highly coupled variables, solving the formulated optimization problem is challenging. To tackle this challenge, we propose an efficient alternating optimization framework that leverages the weighted minimum mean square error (WMMSE) method to reformulate the problem and the block coordinate descent (BCD) algorithm to iteratively update the variables. Specifically, the Riemannian conjugate gradient (RCG) algorithm is leveraged to optimize the phase shift matrix, while the projected gradient descent (PGD) method is adopted to optimize the surface shape of the FIM. Additionally, the optimal beamforming vectors are obtained in closed form.
