Abstract

Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is currently adopted by massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems as a new expansion scheme. It effectively copes with the increasing cost and energy consumption. In this paper, we concentrate on an IRS-assisted MIMO system, in which the base station, IRS and user are all equipped with multiple antennas. We first give the upper bound of the ergodic capacity of the system. Then we maximize this upper bound and obtain the sub-optimal phase shifts of IRS by applying semi-definite relax and Gaussian random methods. Numerical results shows the advantage of the proposed solution and the performance increase brought by multiple antennas.
