METHOD

Full abstract

Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces promise to transform wireless environments, yet practical deployment is hindered by the prohibitive overhead of Channel State Information (CSI) estimation and the dimensionality explosion inherent in centralized optimization. This paper proposes a Hierarchical Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (HMARL) framework for the control of mechanically reconfigurable reflective surfaces in millimeter-wave (mmWave) systems. We introduce a "CSI-free" paradigm that substitutes pilot-based channel estimation with readily available user localization data. To manage the massive combinatorial action space, the proposed architecture utilizes Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization (MAPPO) under a Centralized Training with Decentralized Execution (CTDE) paradigm. The proposed architecture decomposes the control problem into two abstraction levels: a high-level controller for user-to-reflector allocation and decentralized low-level controllers for low-level focal point optimization. Comprehensive ray-tracing evaluations demonstrate that the framework achieves 2.81-7.94 dB RSSI improvements over centralized baselines, with the performance advantage widening as system complexity increases. Scalability analysis reveals that the system maintains sustained efficiency, exhibiting minimal per-user performance degradation and stable total power utilization even when user density doubles. Furthermore, robustness validation confirms the framework's viability across varying reflector aperture sizes (45-99 tiles) and demonstrates graceful performance degradation under localization errors up to 0.5 m. By eliminating CSI overhead while maintaining high-fidelity beam-focusing, this work establishes HMARL as a practical solution for intelligent mmWave environments.

RESULT

ScienceToStartup currently rates this 7.0/10 on the public viability pass. Comprehensive ray-tracing evaluations demonstrate that the framework achieves 2.81-7.94 dB RSSI improvements over centralized baselines, with the performance advantage widening as system complexity increases.
