Dobre, Fellow, IEEE  \nAbstract—In this paper, we propose a tri-hybrid beamforming (THBF) architecture based on the radiation-center (RC) reconﬁgurable antenna array (RCRAA), including the digital beamforming, analog beamforming, and electromagnetic (EM) beamforming, where the EM beamformer design is modeled as RC selection. Aiming at spectral efﬁciency (SE) maximization subject to the hardware and power consumption constraints, we propose a tri-loop alternating optimization (TLAO) scheme for the THBF design, where the digital and analog beamformers are optimized based on the penalty dual decomposition in the inner and middle loops, and the RC selection is determined through the coordinate descent method in the outer loop. Aiming at energy-efﬁciency (EE) maximization, we develop a dual quadratic transform-based fractional programming (DQTFP) scheme, where the TLAO scheme is readily used for the THBF design. To reduce the computational complexity, we propose the Lagrange dual transform-based fractional programming (LDTFP) scheme, where each iteration has a closed-form solution. Simulation results demonstrate the great potential of the RCRAAin improving both SE and EE. Compared to the DQTFP scheme, the LDTFP scheme signiﬁcantly reduces the computational complexity with only minor performance loss.  \nIndex Terms—Millimeter wave (mmWave) communications, multiuser communications, radiation-center (RC) selection, reconﬁgurable antenna array, tri-hybrid beamforming (THBF).  \nI.
