论文摘要
可重新配置的智能表面(RIS)是一种超材料,可以整合到墙壁中并影响电磁波的传播。这通常是被动射频(RF)技术正在室内和室外使用,其潜力使无线通信在越来越具有挑战性的无线电环境中更可靠。本文更进一步,并介绍了移动RI,特别是由无人机(UAVS)携带的RI,以支持未来的蜂窝通信网络和服务。我们详细介绍了几种用例,挑战以及未来的研究机会,以低成本和低能足迹设计和优化无线系统。
A reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is a metamaterial that can be integrated into walls and influence the propagation of electromagnetic waves. This, typically passive radio frequency (RF) technology is emerging for indoor and outdoor use with the potential of making wireless communications more reliable in increasingly challenging radio environments. This paper goes one step further and introduces mobile RIS, specifically, RIS carried by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to support cellular communications networks and services of the future. We elaborate on several use cases, challenges, and future research opportunities for designing and optimizing wireless systems at low cost and with low energy footprint.
