Future wireless networks are expected be more than allowing people, mobile devices, and objects to communicate with each other. The sixth generation (6G) of mobile networks are envisioned to include high data rate applications and ultra-massive, connected things. One of the enabling technology for 6G is Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) which represent a groundbreaking advancement in wireless communication and smart environments, enabling the dynamic control and manipulation of electromagnetic waves. These surfaces, composed of a large array of sub-wavelength-sized elements, can be programmed to adapt their reflection, refraction, and transmission properties in real time. This talk will explore the fundamental principles behind RIS, various designs strategies and their applications in real life including coverage enhancement, healthcare and localisation.
