Abstract
A simultaneously transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (STAR-RIS) aided multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) secure communication system is explored. A practical coupled phase-shift model of STAR-RIS is taken into account for beamforming design. Based on this model, a joint active and passive beamforming optimization problem is formulate to maximize the long-term sum secrecy rate of transmission and reflection users. An efficient deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based algorithm is proposed to address the multivariate coupling issue in the joint beamforming design problem. Simulation results show that: 1) All STAR-RIS schemes can achieve better secrecy performance gain than the conventional RIS; 2) Compared to the optimal independent phase shifts, couple phase shifts of STAR-RIS only lead to a slight performance loss.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Communications Letters publishes short papers in a rapid publication cycle on advances in the state-of-the-art of communication over different media and channels including wire, underground, waveguide, optical fiber, and storage channels. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments and prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. This journal focuses on the physical layer and the link layer of communication systems.
