contents This letter presents optimal beamforming and outage analysis for a Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS)-aided multiple input single output downlink system under Rician fading on both the direct and the RIS-assisted indirect links. We focus on maximizing the capacity for two transmitter architectures: fully digital (FD) and fully analog (FA). This capacity maximization problem with optimally configured RIS is shown to be $L_1$ norm-maximization with respect to the transmit beamformer. To obtain the optimal FD beamformer, we propose a complex $L_1$-PCA-based algorithm whose complexity is significantly lower than the existing semi-definite relaxation-based solutions. We also propose a low-complexity optimal beamforming algorithm to obtain the FA beamformer solution. Further, we derive analytical upper bounds on the SNR achievable by the proposed algorithms and utilize them to characterize the lower bounds on outage probabilities. The derived bounds are numerically shown to closely match the achievable performance for a low-rank channel matrix and are shown to be exact for a unit-rank channel matrix.
