• Abstract: This article introduces a neural network-based signal processing framework for intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) aided wireless communications systems. By modeling radio-frequency (RF) impairments inside the "meta-atoms" of IRS (including nonlinearity and memory effects), we present an approach that generalizes the entire IRS-aided system as a reservoir computing (RC) system, an efficient recurrent neural network (RNN) operating in a state near the "edge of chaos". This framework enables us to take advantage of the nonlinearity of this "fabricated" wireless environment to overcome link degradation due to model mismatch. Accordingly, the randomness of the wireless channel and RF imperfections are naturally embedded into the RC framework, enabling the internal RC dynamics lying on the edge of chaos. Furthermore, several practical issues, such as channel state information acquisition, passive beamforming design, and physical layer reference signal design, are discussed.

  We focus on uplink cascaded channel estimation, where known and fixed base station combining and RIS phase control matrices are considered for collecting observations. To boost the estimation performance and reduce the training overhead, the inherent channel sparsity of mmWave channels is leveraged in the deep unfolding method. It is verified that the proposed deep unfolding network architecture can outperform the least squares (LS) method with a relatively smaller training overhead and online computational complexity.
