The intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is a novel and innovative communication technology that aims at the control of the wireless environment. The IRS is considered as a promising technology for sixth-generation wireless communication. In the last few years, machine learning has emerged as a powerful tool for solving complex problems in diverse application areas. In this paper, we propose a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based demodulation technique called Demod-CNN in IRS-based wireless communication for multiple users. A multiple-input multiple-output based orthogonal multiple frequency division multiplexing system is considered for channel modeling. The received signal data are used for training and testing the model. The simulation results show that the proposed model performs better than the conventional demodulation technique.

For a low complexity signal detector to reduce the power consumption for multiple input and multiple output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems, the depth-first sphere decoding (DFSD) detection scheme was proposed. However, the DFSD detection scheme still has high complexity in the hardware implementation. The complexity is especially high when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is low. Therefore, this paper proposes an adaptive DFSD detection scheme. The proposed detection scheme arrays nodes, sorting by ascending order of squared Euclidean distance (ED) at the top layer of tree structure. Then, the proposed detection scheme uses the different number of nodes according to thresholds based on channel condition. In the simulation results, the proposed detection scheme has similar error performance and low complexity compared with the conventional DFSD detection scheme. Therefore, the proposed detection scheme reduces the power consumption in the signal detector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
