Abstract

This letter proposes an adaptive element grouping method for discrete-phase reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) serving a high-mobility user equipment (UE) to maximize the average net spectral efficiency. A drift-aware channel state information (CSI) aging model is derived for the RIS-to-UE link, enabling pilot refreshing, CSI prediction, and error covariance characterization. With pilot-training and RIS-reconfiguration overhead included, a two-timescale design is developed: slow-timescale grouping exploits spatial correlation, whereas fast-timescale beamforming and discrete-phase optimization use predicted CSI while retaining residual inter-group coupling. Simulations show higher net spectral efficiency than existing grouping schemes, especially under high mobility and large-scale RISs.

Deficit-Aware Randomized User Grouping for Fair Near-Field Energy-Splitting STAR-RIS Systems

Near-field simultaneously transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (STAR-RIS) systems enable full-space coverage, but dense multiuser operation requires active-user grouping under practical stream or RF-chain constraints. Gain-based or proportional-fair scheduling may over-serve strong users, whil...

Two-Timescale, Low-Overhead Parametric Channel Estimation for RIS-Assisted Near-Field Communication and Its Rate Implications

New techniques are required to estimate the user-to-reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) near-field channel due to the distance-dependency of its steering vector. The estimate is needed to determine the RIS configuration and the combining vector of the multi-antenna base station (BS) receiver. We present a novel, l...
