Optimal Discrete Beamforming of RIS-Aided Wireless Communications: An Inner Product Maximization Approach

Description

1. The main branch is for the discrete optimizaion problem with quadratic forms ($w^HRw$) or 2-norms $||Aw||_2$, where the matrix R ( or A) is with rank-1. The approach is called DaS method !!!
2. The For-lowrank branch code is used to achieve the global optimum in maximizing quadratic forms ($w^HRw$) or 2-norms $||Aw||_2$ where the matrix R ( or A) is M, M is not 1. w is the discrete phase configuration vector.

Description 2

The special code "Alternating_main" in main branch is the Alternating inner product maximization approach, mainly for solving p-norm $||Aw||_p$ (p is 2 within this code) maximization problems, while A is a matrix with rank-M. This approach features high efficiency and is based on the optimal discrete optimization with rank-1 scenarios (DaS method), as stated as above reference 1.
