Abstract:
A method for shaping a mmWave wireless channel in a wireless network is presented. The method includes enabling communication between a multi-antenna transmitter and a multi-antenna receiver, positioning a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) in a vicinity of the multi-antenna transmitter and the multi-antenna receiver, constructing the RIS as a uniform planar array (UPA) structure forming a multi-beamforming framework, a surface of the UPA defining an array of discrete elements arranged in a grid pattern, wherein parameters of the discrete elements of the UPA are controllable to achieve multiple disjoint beams covering different solid angles, and enabling the plurality of users of the plurality of mobile devices positioned in blind spots of a coverage map to communicate with the multi-antenna transmitter by employing the MS to generate sharp and effective beams having almost uniform gain in a desired angular coverage interval (ACI).
