Abstract

Intelligent metasurfaces arranged in a stacked configuration, known as stacked intelligent metasurfaces (SIM), represent an emerging design paradigm for implementing advanced signal processing directly within the native electromagnetic wave domain. This study focuses on optimising the SIM configuration to maximise the downlink sum rate of multiuser systems. Unlike prior research on SIM-aided multiuser multiple-input single-output (MISO) systems, we customise a Grey Wolf Optimiser (GWO) for designing SIM phase shifts to maximise the system’s sum rate. Through simulations, we demonstrate that the proposed GWO-based method can closely match the performance of the alternating optimisation (AO) scheme for the system sum rate while maintaining low complexity.
