Abstract: Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) with discrete phase shifts aided two-user downlink network is considered. The precoding beamforming and RIS parameters are jointly designed for sum rate maximization. The nonconvex problem is approximated through maximum ratio transmission, optimal power allocation and Courant penalty function techniques. Two algorithms are proposed for the approximated problem based on alternating direction of multipliers method and proximal gradient method, respectively. Simulations show that the two proposed algorithms achieve higher sum rate with significantly lower computational cost than the sate of the art.
