Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces: From Dump to Smart Wireless Networks
Recent advances in programmable metasurfaces, also dubbed as software-defined metasurfaces (SDMs) or reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), are envisioned to offer a paradigm shift from uncontrollable to fully tunable and customizable wireless propagation environments, enabling a plethora of new applications and technological trends.
Therefore, in view of this cutting-edge technological concept, in this talk, Dr. Lina Mohjazi will introduce the RIS architecture and electromagnetic wave manipulation functionalities. She will then detail some of the recent advancements that have been made toward realizing these programmable functionalities in wireless communication applications. She will shed light on their potential applications and associated challenges.
The talk will discuss how artificial intelligence (AI) can address various constraints introduced by real-time deployment of RISs, particularly in terms of latency, storage, energy efficiency, and computation. Based on the research works, she will discuss some fundamental system performance insights on networks assisted by RIS.
The time of the event will be, May 5, 2023, 10:00am-11:00am, Toronto time (EDT, UTC-4).
