Due to hardware limitations, the phase shifts of the reflecting elements of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) need to be quantized into discrete values. This letter aims to unveil the minimum required number of phase quantization levels $L$ in order to achieve the full diversity order in RIS-assisted wireless communication systems. With the aid of an upper bound of the outage probability, we first prove that the full diversity order is achievable provided that $L$ is not less than three. If $L=2$, on the other hand, we prove that the achievable diversity order cannot exceed $(N+1)/2$, where $N$ is the number of reflecting elements. This is obtained with the aid of a lower bound of the outage probability. Therefore, we prove that the minimum required value of $L$ to achieve the full diversity order is $L=3$. Simulation results verify the theoretical analysis and the impact of phase quantization levels on RIS-assisted communication systems.

In this paper, we propose an reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) enhanced spectrum sensing system, in which the primary transmitter is equipped with single antenna, the secondary transmitter is equipped with multiple antennas, and the RIS is emp
loyed to improve the detection performance. Without loss of generality, we adopt the maximum eigenvalue detection approach, and propose a corresponding analytical framework based on large dimensional random matrix theory, to evaluate the detection probability in the asymptotic regime. Besides, the phase shift matrix of the RIS is designed with only the statistical channel state information (CSI), which is shown to be quite effective when the RIS-related channels are of Rician fading or line-of-sight (LoS). With the designed phase shift matrix, the asymptotic distributions of the equivalent channel gains are derived. Then, we provide the theoretical predictions about the number of reflecting elements (REs) required to achieve a detection probability close to 1. Finally, we present the Monte-Carlo simulation results to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed asymptotic analytical framework for the detection probability and the validity of the theoretical predictions about the number of REs required to achieve a detection probability close to 1. Moreover, the simulation results show that the proposed RIS-enhanced spectrum sensing system can substantially improve the detection performance.
In this letter, we study the outage probability of intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) assisted full duplex two-way communication systems, which characterizes the performance of overcoming the transmitted data loss caused by long deep fades. To this
end, we first derive the probability distribution of the cascaded end-to-end equivalent channel with an arbitrarily given IRS beamformer. Our analysis shows that deriving such probability distribution in the considered case is more challenging than the case with the phase-matched IRS beamformer. Then, with the derived probability distribution of the equivalent channel, we obtain the closed-form expression of the outage probability performance. It theoretically shows that the reflecting element number has a conspicuous effect on the improvement of the system reliability. Extensive numerical results verify the correctness of the derived results and confirm the superiority of the considered IRS assisted two-way communication system comparing to the one-way counterpart.
Recent advances in the fabrication and experimentation of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) have motivated the concept of the smart radio environment, according to which the propagation of information-bearing waveforms in the wireless medium
is amenable to programmability. Although the vast majority of recent experimental research on RIS-empowered wireless communications gravitates around narrowband beamforming in quasi-free space, RISs are foreseen to revolutionize wideband wireless connectivity in dense urban as well as indoor scenarios, which are usually characterized as strongly reverberant environments exhibiting severe multipath conditions. In this article, capitalizing on recent physics-driven experimental explorations of RIS-empowered wave propagation control in complex scattering cavities, we identify the potential of the spatiotemporal control offered by RISs to boost wireless communications in rich scattering channels via two case studies. First, an RIS is deployed to shape the multipath channel impulse response, which is shown to enable higher achievable communication rates. Second, the RIS-tunable propagation environment is leveraged as an analog multiplexer to localize non-cooperative objects using wave fingerprints, even when they are outside the line of sight. Future research challenges and opportunities in the algorithmic design and experimentation of smart rich scattering wireless environments enabled by RISs for sixth Generation (6G) wireless communications are discussed.
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) is a promising solution to reconfigure the wireless environment in a controllable way. To compensate for the double-fading attenuation in the RIS-aided link, a large number of passive reflecting elements (REs)
are conventionally deployed at the RIS, resulting in large surface size and considerable circuit power consumption. In this paper, we propose a new type of RIS, called active RIS, where each RE is assisted by active loads (negative resistance), that reflect and amplify the incident signal instead of only reflecting it with the adjustable phase shift as in the case of a passive RIS. Therefore, for a given power budget at the RIS, a strengthened RIS-aided link can be achieved by increasing the number of active REs as well as amplifying the incident signal. We consider the use of an active RIS to a single input multiple output (SIMO) system. {However, it would unintentionally amplify the RIS-correlated noise, and thus the proposed system has to balance the conflict between the received signal power maximization and the RIS-correlated noise minimization at the receiver. To achieve this goal, it has to optimize the reflecting coefficient matrix at the RIS and the receive beamforming at the receiver.} An alternating optimization algorithm is proposed to solve the problem. Specifically, the receive beamforming is obtained with a closed-form solution based on linear minimum-mean-square-error (MMSE) criterion, while the reflecting coefficient matrix is obtained by solving a series of sequential convex approximation (SCA) problems. Simulation results show that the proposed active RIS-aided system could achieve better performance over the conventional passive RIS-aided system with the same power budget.
The recent development of metasurfaces has motivated their potential use for improving the performance of wireless communication networks by manipulating the propagation environment through nearly-passive sub-wavelength scattering elements arranged o
n a surface. However, most studies of this technology focus on reflective metasurfaces, i.e., the surface reflects the incident signals towards receivers located on the same side of the transmitter, which restricts the coverage to one side of the surface. In this article, we introduce the concept of intelligent omni-surface (IOS), which is able to serve mobile users on both sides of the surface to achieve full-dimensional communications by jointly engineering its reflective and refractive properties. The working principle of the IOS is introduced and a novel hybrid beamforming scheme is proposed for IOS-based wireless communications. Moreover, we present a prototype of IOS-based wireless communications and report experimental results. Furthermore, potential applications of the IOS to wireless communications together with relevant research challenges are discussed.
