| contents | This article investigates the integration of movable antennas (MAs) into multicast communication systems. By discretizing the motion of the MAs, a novel MA-assisted multicast transmission architecture is formulated. An alternating optimization (AO) algorithm based on successive convex approximation is proposed to optimize the transmit beamforming and antenna positions. To gain further insights, the two-user case is examined, and a closed-form expression for the optimal beamformer is derived. On this basis, a low-complexity greedy search algorithm is developed to optimize the placement of the MAs. Furthermore, under the assumption of a line-of-sight propagation environment, a branch-and-bound algorithm is designed to determine the globally optimal antenna configuration with reduced complexity compared to exhaustive search. Numerical simulations confirm that the proposed methods effectively enhance the achievable multicast rate. |
