This letter investigates a downlink multiple input single output (MISO) system based on transmissive reconfigurable metasurface (RMS) transmitter. Specifically, a transmitter design based on a transmissive RMS equipped with a feed antenna is first proposed. Then, in order to maximize the achievable sum-rate of the system, the beamforming design and power allocation are jointly optimized. Since the optimization variables are coupled, this formulated optimization problem is non-convex, so it is difficult to solve it directly. To solve this problem, we proposed an alternating optimization (AO) technique based on difference-of-convex (DC) programming and successive convex approximation (SCA). Simulation results verify that the proposed algorithm can achieve convergence and improve the achievable sum-rate of the system.
