Blockage-Aware Multi-RIS Sensing and Optimization for mmWave Smart Radio Environments

Abstract

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) multi-user MIMO systems are highly vulnerable to blockage, and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) have been proposed as a remedy. However, RIS links may themselves be blocked, while most prior works assume ideal RIS availability. We propose an end-to-end blockage-aware multi-RIS weighted sum-rate (WSR) optimization framework. The BS transmits short per-RIS indexed synchronization signals, enabling each user to identify blocked panels through a simple energy detection test. Based on the detected feasible sets, we jointly optimize the BS precoder and RIS phases via a Closed-form Riemannian Phase Alignment (CRPA) algorithm. CRPA provides unit-modulus-preserving closed-form updates, requiring no projection or line search, and ensures monotone ascent. Simulations validate reliable blockage detection and notable WSR and convergence gains over existing baselines.

Constrained Parameter Update Law for Adaptive Control

In this paper, constrained parameter update laws for adaptive control are developed using barrier constraints. An interpretation of the parameter update law from a constrained optimization problem, in which a regularized Barrier saddle function is formulated to incorporate parameter constraints using inverse and logarithmic barrier functions from interior-point methods. The resulting constrained update law is integrated with an adaptive trajectory tracking controller, enabling online learning of the unknown system model parameters. Forward invariance of the parameter estimate is established and Lyapunov stability of the closed-loop system with the constrained parameter update law is derived. The effectiveness of the proposed constrained adaptive control law is demonstrated through simulations, which validate its ability to maintain parameter estimates within prescribed bounds while ensuring convergence to the true parameter values and achieving steady state tracking performance.

Biased Backpressure Routing for Multihop Wireless Networks with Heterogeneous Interfaces

Heterogeneous-interface multihop wireless networks (Het-MuNets) are emerging as a promising paradigm for tactical networks and for infrastructure-light applications such as vehicular communications, wireless backhaul, and non-terrestrial connectivity. To exploit the diverse profiles of heterogeneous communication technologies in penetration, interference, and bandwidth, packet-to-interface assignment must be determined on a per-hop basis, making routing and scheduling highly complex. In this work, we develop a unified framework for joint packet routing, link scheduling, and interface assignment in Het-MuNets with multiple concurrent flows. By modeling packet-to-interface assignment as transmission between virtual subnodes, we transform interface assignment into intra-device virtual routing, which is solved jointly with physical routing and scheduling under a unified multi-layer shortest path-biased Backpressure (SP-BP) scheme. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms SP-BP operating on other baseline graph models and non-backpressure routing schemes in goodput, latency, and packet delivery rate.
