Abstract :
[en] In this paper, a novel robust beamforming for an
intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) assisted FD system is presented.
Since perfect channel state information (CSI) is often challenging
to acquire in practice, we consider the case of imperfect CSI and
adopt a statistically robust beamforming approach to maximize
the ergodic weighted sum rate (WSR). We also analyze the achievable
WSR of an IRS-assisted FD with imperfect CSI, for which
the lower and the upper bounds are derived. The ergodic WSR
maximization problem is tackled based on the expected Weighted
Minimum Mean Squared Error (WMMSE), which is guaranteed
to converge to a local optimum. The effectiveness of the proposed
design is investigated with extensive simulation results. It is shown
that our robust design achieves significant performance gain
compared to the naive beamforming approaches and considerably
outperforms the robust Half-Duplex (HD) system.
