Average Rate Approximation and Maximization for RIS-Assisted Multi-User MISO System

In this letter, we investigate a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) assisted downlink multi-user multiple-input single-output (MISO) system. We derive the approximations of average rate of user equipments (UEs) under proper assumptions, and reveal the relations between average rates and system parameters. Furthermore, a RIS configuration algorithm is proposed to improve the average sum rate ...
