With the rapid development of advanced electromagnetic manipulation technologies, researchers and engineers are starting to study smart surfaces that can achieve enhanced coverages, high reconfigurability, and are easy to deploy. Among these efforts, simultaneously transmitting and reflecting intelligent omni-surface (STAR-IOS) is one of the most promising categories. Although pioneering works have demonstrated the benefits of STAR-IOSs in terms of its wireless communication performance gain, several important issues remain unclear including practical hardware implementations and physics-compliant models for STAR-IOSs. In this paper, we answer these pressing questions of STAR-IOSs by discussing four practical hardware implementations of STAR-IOSs, as well as three hardware modelling methods and five channel modelling methods. These discussions not only categorize existing smart surface technologies but also serve as a physicscompliant pipeline for further investigating the STAR-IOSs.

In this letter, simultaneous transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (STAR-RISs) are studied. Compared with the conventional reflecting-only RISs, the coverage of STAR-RISs is extended to 360 degrees via simultaneous transmiss
ion and reflection. A general hardware model for STAR-RISs is presented. Then, channel models are proposed for the near-field and the far-field scenarios, base on which the diversity gain of the STAR-RISs is analyzed and compared with that of the conventional RISs. Numerical simulations are provided to verify analytical results and to demonstrate that full diversity order can be achieved on both sides of the STAR-RIS.
The novel concept of simultaneously transmitting and reflecting (STAR) reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) is investigated, where the incident wireless signal is divided into transmitted and reflected signals passing into both sides of the spa
ce surrounding the surface, thus facilitating a full-space manipulation of signal propagation. Based on the introduced basic signal model of `STAR, three practical operating protocols for STAR-RISs are proposed, namely energy splitting (ES), mode switching (MS), and time switching (TS). Moreover, a STAR-RIS aided downlink communication system is considered for both unicast and multicast transmission, where a multi-antenna base station (BS) sends information to two users, i.e., one on each side of the STAR-RIS. A power consumption minimization problem for the joint optimization of the active beamforming at the BS and the passive transmission and reflection beamforming at the STAR-RIS is formulated for each of the proposed operating protocols, subject to communication rate constraints of the users. For ES, the resulting highly-coupled non-convex optimization problem is solved by an iterative algorithm, which exploits the penalty method and successive convex approximation. Then, the proposed penalty-based iterative algorithm is extended to solve the mixed-integer non-convex optimization problem for MS. For TS, the optimization problem is decomposed into two subproblems, which can be consecutively solved using state-of-the-art algorithms and convex optimization techniques. Finally, our numerical results reveal that: 1) the TS and ES operating protocols are generally preferable for unicast and multicast transmission, respectively; and 2) the required power consumption for both scenarios is significantly reduced by employing the proposed STAR-RIS instead of conventional reflecting/transmiting-only RISs.
An intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) at terahertz (THz) bands is expected to have a massive number of reflecting elements to compensate for the severe propagation losses. However, as the IRS size grows, the conventional far-field assumption starts
becoming invalid and the spherical wavefront of the radiated waves should be taken into account. In this work, we consider a spherical wave channel model and pursue a comprehensive study of IRS-aided multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) in terms of power gain and energy efficiency (EE). Specifically, we first analyze the power gain under beamfocusing and beamforming, and show that the latter is suboptimal even for multiple meters away from the IRS. To this end, we derive an approximate, yet accurate, closed-form expression for the loss in the power gain under beamforming. Building on the derived model, we next show that an IRS can significantly improve the EE of MIMO when it operates in the radiating near-field and performs beamfocusing. Numerical results corroborate our analysis and provide novel insights into the design and performance of IRS-assisted THz communication.
Different from traditional reflection-only reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), simultaneously transmitting and reflecting RISs (STAR-RISs) represent a novel technology, which extends the textit{half-space} coverage to textit{full-space} cover
age by simultaneously transmitting and reflecting incident signals. STAR-RISs provide new degrees-of-freedom (DoF) for manipulating signal propagation. Motivated by the above, a novel STAR-RIS assisted non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) (STAR-RIS-NOMA) system is proposed in this paper. Our objective is to maximize the achievable sum rate by jointly optimizing the decoding order, power allocation coefficients, active beamforming, and transmission and reflection beamforming. However, the formulated problem is non-convex with intricately coupled variables. To tackle this challenge, a suboptimal two-layer iterative algorithm is proposed. Specifically, in the inner-layer iteration, for a given decoding order, the power allocation coefficients, active beamforming, transmission and reflection beamforming are optimized alternatingly. For the outer-layer iteration, the decoding order of NOMA users in each cluster is updated with the solutions obtained from the inner-layer iteration. Moreover, an efficient decoding order determination scheme is proposed based on the equivalent-combined channel gains. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate that the proposed STAR-RSI-NOMA system, aided by our proposed algorithm, outperforms conventional RIS-NOMA and RIS assisted orthogonal multiple access (RIS-OMA) systems.
In this paper, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and intelligent reflective surface (IRS) are utilized to support terahertz (THz) communications. To this end, the joint optimization of UAVs trajectory, the phase shift of IRS, the allocation of THz su
b-bands, and the power control is investigated to maximize the minimum average achievable rate of all the users. An iteration algorithm based on successive Convex Approximation with the Rate constraint penalty (CAR) is developed to obtain UAVs trajectory, and the IRS phase shift is formulated as a closed-form expression with introduced pricing factors. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme significantly enhances the rate performance of the whole system.
