Abstract: Intelligent reflecting surface(IRS),as one of the most potential technologies in the next-generation wireless communication,plays a significant role.However,the existing IRS-assisted multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) systems face a challenging problem that the beamforming methods require high computational capabilities of the antennas.To address this challenge,a deep learning(DL)-based joint beamforming design has been proposed for IRS-aided multi-user MIMO communication systems aiming to maximize the sum data rate of all users.The proposed DL-based beamforming scheme utilizes convolutional neural network to jointly optimize digital beamforming at base station and reflection beamforming at IRS.The proposed DL-based beamforming method forecasts the essential features extracted from the beamforming matrix,which overcomes the challenge of direct prediction of beamforming matrix by neural network.This method significantly reduces the demand on the predictive capability of the neural network,and the trained and optimized beamforming designs are using online that can significantly reduce the real-time computational complexity.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed beamforming design can achieve over 0.5~1bit/s/Hzdata rate improvement,which will be enhanced with the growth of user number.
