    Abstract: Configuration of a line of sight, multiple input, multiple output circular antenna array involves setting an integer number of antenna arrays up to a number of antenna ports for the circular antenna array and a maximum radius for any antenna ring within the circular antenna array. A capacity is determined for each of a plurality of different combinations of each of: an integer number of antenna rings up to a predetermined maximum number of antenna rings, a number of the antenna arrays for each of the number of antenna rings, and angular offsets for that antenna arrays on each of the antenna rings. The determined capacities for the plurality of different combinations are compared.

    Abstract: A multi-layer reconfigurable reflective intelligent surface (RIS). The RIS includes a unit-cell of a reconfigurable intelligent surface. The unit-cell includes a first layer composed of a conductive material and structured according to a sub-wavelength reflective pattern. The first layer reflects an impinging wave at a predetermined phase and steers the reflected impinging wave toward an intended receiver. The unit-cell includes a second layer composed of a first dielectric substrate material. Between the first and second layers, the unit-cell includes a middle layer composed of a second dielectric material having tunable dielectric properties. Tuning a dielectric constant of the second dielectric material modifies the predetermined phase of reflection of the impinging wave.

    Abstract: A SmarterFi gateway integrates a WiFi access point and smart repeater, and executes a method therefor. The method includes receiving, from a user equipment (UE) via a first wireless communication channel, wireless fidelity (WiFi) signals that include information indicating a location of the UE. The WiFi signals are received by a transceiver that includes a first antenna array for communication with the UE, and a second antenna array for communication with a gNB. The method includes transmitting, to the gNB via the second antenna array, uplink data and control information that includes the UE location information. The method includes receiving, from the gNB via the second antenna array, downlink information intended for the UE. The method includes forward-transmitting, to the UE via a second wireless communication channel, the downlink information via a beam formed at the first antenna array to serve the UE at the location of the UE.

    Abstract: A method, implemented by a processor connected to a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) system that includes one or more RISs, includes detecting one or more wireless control signals from a transmitter. The method includes identifying a channel state and one or more phases based on the detected wireless control signals; improving a beam-steering reflection matrix (Φ) of the RIS system based on a singular value decomposition of channel matrices; and configuring the RIS system based on the Φ. Among the RISs, each RIS is configured to redirect an incident signal toward an antenna array of an intended receiver. The incident signal is received from the transmitter. Locations of the RIS and transmitter differ by a height placement value (hRIS). In a horizontal plane, the location of the RIS is a first distance (DTX-RIS) from the transmitter and a second distance (DRX-RIS) from the receiver.
