Channel Modeling of Wireless Communication Systems Using Optimized Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface Arrays

The major objectives of this research are to derive the ultimate performance limits of a communication system using Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS), trying to reach those ultimate limits through the optimization of elements of the RIS and their configuration, evaluating the performance of physically realizable RIS based systems given practical limitations, and trying to alleviate any discrepancy between the theoretical and practical results through innovative techniques as well as complexity reduction methods allowing to implement larger systems. To summarize. the principal goal is to conduct research on the application of arrays with a massive number of antenna elements to increase the capacity of the next generation of broadband communication networks. The main focus will be on the RIS and optimization of the parameters of the elements of the RIS arrays as well as their configuration.
