Description
Summary:In this paper, we survey state-of-the-art research outcomes in the burgeoning field of reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) in view of its potential for significant performance enhancement for next generation wireless communication networks by means of adapting the propagation environment. Emphasis has been placed on several aspects gating the commercially viability of a future network deployment. Comprehensive summaries are provided for practical hardware design considerations and broad implications of artificial intelligence techniques, so are in-depth outlooks on salient aspects of system models, use cases, and physical layer optimization techniques.
