However, deploying large scale RISs may not bring expected performance gain due to significant channel estimation overhead and non-negligible reflected interference.In this paper,we derive the analytical expressions of the coverage probability, area spectrum efficiency(ASE)and energy efficiency (EE)of a downlink RIS-aided multi-cell network.In order to optimize the network performance, we investigate the conditions for the optimal number of training symbols of each antenna-to-antenna and antenna-to-element path (referred to as the optimal unit training overhead) in channel estimation.Our study shows that:1)RIS deployment is not“the more, the better”, only when blockage objects are dense should one deploy more RISs;2) the coverage probability is maximized when the unit training overhead is designed as large as possible;3)however,the ASE-and-EE-optimal unit training overhead exists. It is a monotonically increasing function of the frame length and a monotonically decreasing function of the average signal-to-noise-ratio (in the high signal-to-noise-ratio region). Additionally,the optimal unit training overhead is smaller when communication nodes deploy particularly few or many antennas.展开更多

文摘In this paper,a reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)-assisted MIMO wireless secure communication system is considered,in which a base station(BS)equipped with multiple antennas exploits statistical channel state information to communicate with a legitimate multi-antenna user,in the presence of an eavesdropper,also equipped with multiple antennas.We firstly obtain an analytical expression of the ergodic secrecy rate based on the results of largedimensional random matrix theory.Then,a jointly alternating optimization algorithm with the method of Taylor series expansion and the projected gradient ascent method is proposed to design the transmit covariance matrix at the BS,as well as the diagonal phaseshifting matrix to maximize the ergodic secrecy rate.Simulations are conducted to demonstrate the accuracy of the derived analytical expressions,as well as the superior performance of our proposed algorithm.

文摘Reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)is an emerging meta-surface that can provide additional communications links through reflecting the signals,and has been recognized as a strong candidate of 6G mobile communications systems.Meanwhile,it has been recently admitted that implementing artificial intelligence(AI)into RIS communications will extensively benefit the reconfiguration capacity and enhance the robustness to complicated transmission environments.Besides the conventional model-driven approaches,AI can also deal with the existing signal processing problems in a data-driven manner via digging the inherent characteristic from the real data.Hence,AI is particularly suitable for the signal processing problems over RIS networks under unideal scenarios like modeling mismatching,insufficient resource,hardware impairment,as well as dynamical transmissions.As one of the earliest survey papers,we will introduce the merging of AI and RIS,called AIRIS,over various signal processing topics,including environmental sensing,channel acquisition,beamforming design,and resource scheduling,etc.We will also discuss the challenges of AIRIS and present some interesting future directions.

文摘Millimeter wave with large bandwidth,high transmission rate,and low delay is considered a reliable alternative to cope with the spectrum shortage.However,the fast attenuation and narrow beam characteristics make it difficult to achieve long-distance or wide-range applications.Here,a 1-bit dual-band reflective reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)for signal enhancement in millimeter wave with 16×16 elements is designed,fabricated,and measured.Different from most existent RIS,dynamic programming is realized at two separate frequency bands by integrating the PIN diodes and field-programmable gate array(FPGA).Particularly,the beam deflection,dual-beam,and multi-beam are created based on the coding theory and convolution operation,proving the effectiveness of wavefront manipulation.Moreover,the far-field patterns and signal power with different coding sequences are measured and compared.It is indicated that the received signal power is 6–7 dB stronger than that without coding,which shows good agreement with the desired expectations.The proposed reconfigurable metasurface exhibits great potential in beam forming,making it a promising candidate for progressive wireless communication applications.

文摘Reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)is a promising solution to deal with the blockage-sensitivity of millimeter wave band and reduce the high energy consumption caused by network densification. However, deploying large scale RISs may not bring expected performance gain due to significant channel estimation overhead and non-negligible reflected interference.In this paper,we derive the analytical expressions of the coverage probability, area spectrum efficiency(ASE)and energy efficiency (EE)of a downlink RIS-aided multi-cell network.In order to optimize the network performance, we investigate the conditions for the optimal number of training symbols of each antenna-to-antenna and antenna-to-element path (referred to as the optimal unit training overhead) in channel estimation.Our study shows that:1)RIS deployment is not“the more, the better”, only when blockage objects are dense should one deploy more RISs;2) the coverage probability is maximized when the unit training overhead is designed as large as possible;3)however,the ASE-and-EE-optimal unit training overhead exists. It is a monotonically increasing function of the frame length and a monotonically decreasing function of the average signal-to-noise-ratio (in the high signal-to-noise-ratio region). Additionally,the optimal unit training overhead is smaller when communication nodes deploy particularly few or many antennas.

文摘Thanks to the recent advances in metamaterials,Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface(RIS)has emergedas a promising technology for future 6G wireless communications.Benefiting from its high array gain,low cost,and low power consumption,RISs are expected to greatly enlarge signal coverage,improve system capacity,andincrease energy efficiency.In this article,we systematically overview the emerging RIS technology with the focuson its key basics,nine fundamental issues,and one critical problem.Specifically,we first explain the RIS basics,including its working principles,hardware structures,and potential benefits for communications.Based on thesebasics,nine fundamental issues of RISs,such as“What’s the differences between RISs and massive MIMO?”and“Is RIS really intelligent?”,are explicitly addressed to elaborate its technical features,distinguish it from existingtechnologies,and clarify some misunderstandings in the literature.Then,one critical problem of RISs is revealedthat,due to the“multiplicative fading”effect,existing passive RISs can hardly achieve visible performance gains inmany communication scenarios with strong direct links.To address this critical problem,a potential solution calledactive RISs is introduced,and its effectiveness is demonstrated by numerical simulations.
