Abstract

Channel state information acquisition is a crucial task for fully exploiting the appealing advantage of reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). In this paper, we develop a novel channel estimation strategy for practical RIS-assisted multiuser orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access (OFDMA) communication. Different from prior works which assume that the RIS has an ideal reflection model, in this work the channel estimation strategy is developed for a practical RIS reflection model by considering the amplitude-phase-frequency response of the reflected signals for wideband systems. To improve the accuracy and efficiency of the channel estimation, we propose a novel channel estimation method with pilot subcarrier allocation and RIS time-varying reflection pattern design. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed channel estimation strategy.
