contents This paper attempts to jointly optimize the hybrid precoding (HP) and intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) beamforming matrices in a multi-IRS-aided mmWave communication network, utilizing the Alamouti scheme at the base station (BS). Considering the overall signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as the objective function, the underlying problem is cast as an optimization problem, which is shown to be non-convex in general. To tackle the problem, noting that the unknown matrices contribute multiplicatively to the objective function, they are reformulated into two new matrices with rank constraints. Then, using the so-called inner approximation (IA) technique in conjunction with majorization-minimization (MM) approaches, these new matrices are solved iteratively. From one of these matrices, the IRS beamforming matrices can be effectively extracted. Meanwhile, HP precoding matrices can be solved separately through a new optimization problem aimed at minimizing the Euclidean distance between the fully digital (FD) precoder and HP analog/digital precoders. This is achieved through the use of a modified block coordinate descent (MBCD) algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms various benchmark schemes in terms of achieving a higher achievable rate.
