CSI-Free Gamma CDF-Based Distributed User Scheduling for IRS-Aided Multi-User Systems
In this paper, we propose a CSI-free distributed user scheduling scheme for intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-aided multi-user systems. Building upon adaptive conditional sample mean (A-CSM), originally developed for blind beamforming in IRS-aided systems, we exploit the first-stage A-CSM output as a local schedulin...
