Abstract:

Extremely large-scale hybrid reconfigurable intelligence surface (XL-HRIS), an improved version of the RIS, can receive the incident signal and enhance communication performance. However, as the RIS size increases, the phase variations of the received signal across the whole array are nonnegligible in the near-field region, and the channel model mismatch, which will decrease the estimation accuracy, must be considered. In this paper, the lower bound (LB) of the estimated parameter is studied and the impacts of the distance and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) on LB are then evaluated. Moreover, the impacts of the array scale on LB and spectral efficiency (SE) are also studied. Simulation results verify that even in extremely large-scale array systems with infinite SNR, channel model mismatch can still limit estimation accuracy. However, this impact decreases with increasing distance.
