However, most existing works ignore the dynamic power consumption of IRS related to the phase shift configuration. This relationship gets even more intractable for a multi-bit IRS because of its nonlinearity and implicit form. In this paper, we investigate the beamforming optimization for multi-bit IRS-aided systems with the practical phase shift-dependent power consumption (PS-DPC) model, aiming at minimizing the power consumption of the system. To solve the implicit and nonlinear relationship, we introduce a selection matrix to explicitly represent the power consumption and the phase shift matrix of the IRS, respectively. Then, we propose a generalized Benders decomposition-based beamforming optimization algorithm in the single-user scenario. Furthermore, in the multi-user scenario, we design a coordinate descent-based algorithm and a genetic algorithm for the beamforming optimization. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithms significantly decrease the power consumption of the multi-bit IRS-aided systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24186136","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,24]],"date-time":"2024-09-24T08:56:06Z","timestamp":1727168166000},"page":"6136","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Beamforming for Multi-Bit Intelligent Reflecting Surface with Phase Shift-Dependent Power Consumption Model"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-9151-6614","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Huimin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science and Technology, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3456-6638","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qiucen","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science and Technology, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2303-5567","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yu","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science and Technology, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Recommendation, International Telecommunication Union Recommendation (2024, June 01).
