Robust Beamforming Design and Antenna Selection for Dynamic HRIS-Aided MISO Systems

In this paper, we propose a dynamic hybrid active-passive reconfigurable intelligent surface (HRIS) to enhance multiple-input-single-output (MISO) communications, leveraging the property of dynamically placing active elements. Specifically, considering the impact of hardware impairments (HWIs), we investigate channel-aware configurations of the receive antennas at the base station (BS) and the active/passive elements at the HRIS to improve transmission reliability. To this end, we propose a penalty-based exact block coordinate descent (PEBCD) algorithm to address the mean-square-error (MSE) minimization problem for the dynamic HRIS-aided MISO system by jointly optimizing the BS receive antenna selection matrix, the reflection phase coefficients, the reflection amplitude matrix, and the mode selection matrix of the HRIS. Numerical simulations demonstrate the significant superiority of our proposed scheme over conventional benchmark schemes.
