Unsupervised Learning for Passive Beamforming

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has recently emerged as a promising candidate to improve the energy and spectral efficiency of wireless communication systems. However, the unit modulus constraint on the phase shift of reflecting elements makes the design of optimal passive beamforming solution a challenging issue. The conventional approach is to find a suboptimal solution using the semi-definite relaxation (SDR) technique, yet the...
