Abstract
This letter proposes a movable beyond-diagonal reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (MA-BD-RIS) design, combining inter-element connectivity and movability for channel enhancement. We study a MA-BD-RIS assisted multi-user multiple input single output system where beamforming, BD-RIS configuration, and elements positions are jointly optimized to maximize the sum-rate. An efficient algorithm is developed, incorporating closed-form beamforming, a low-complexity partially proximal alternating direction method of multipliers for BD-RIS design, and successive convex approximation for element placement. Simulations show that the high-movability structure yields superior performance in small-scale RIS and rich scattering scenarios, while the high-connectivity structure dominates in large-scale RIS and massive transmit array configurations.
