Abstract
This work explores the integration of pixel antennas and rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA) to enhance spectral efficiency in multi-user multiple-input single-output (MU-MISO) systems. Pixel antennas offer controllable antenna characteristics via antenna coding from the analog domain, whereas RSMA provides efficient interference management from the digital domain. We propose a novel pixel antenna empowered RSMA transmission framework where each user employs a pixel antenna. Under imperfect channel state information at the transmitter, we formulate a joint precoding and antenna coding design problem to maximize the ergodic sum-rate. An alternating optimization algorithm based on the weighted minimum mean square error (WMMSE) approach and the successive exhaustive Boolean optimization (SEBO) is first developed to solve the problem. We then propose an efficient online antenna coder…
