Abstract

In this letter, we investigate the uplink of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided millimeter-wave (mmWave) multi-user system. In the considered system, however, problems with hardware cost and power consumption arise when massive antenna arrays coupled with power-demanding analog-todigital converters (ADCs) are employed. To account for practical hardware complexity, we consider that the access point (AP) is equipped with resolution-adaptive analog-to-digital converters (RADCs). We maximize the achievable rate under hardware constraints by jointly optimizing the ADC quantization bits, the RIS phase shifts, and the beam selection matrix. The formulated problem is non-convex. To efficiently tackle this problem, a block coordinated descent (BCD)-based algorithm is proposed. Simulations demonstrate that an RIS can mitigate the hardware loss due to the use of RADCs, and that the proposed BCD-based algorithm outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms.
