Abstract
Current passive reflecting intelligent surfaces (RISs) face challenges, including restricted limited half-space coverage and dual fading attenuation, despite their potential to enhance wireless network performance. This paper introduces a novel multi-functional RIS (MF-RIS) that address problems, offering improved performance and full-space coverage. The working principle of the MF-RIS is first presented, followed by the introduction of an advanced beamforming strategy that leverages the MF-RIS to enhance wireless communication. To maximize the sum rate in the system, taking into account power budget and energy conservation constraints, a non-convex optimization problem is formulated, involving the optimization of MF-RIS coefficients. To address this problem, a robust iterative algorithm based on fractional programming (FP) is proposed. Experimental results validate the proposed approach, demonstrating the superior performance of the MF-RIS scheme under identical power constraints compared to dual-functional RIS (DF-RIS) and single-functional RIS (SF-RIS) schemes.
