文摘Active metasurfaces with dynamically reconfigurable functionalities are highly demanded in various practical applications.Here,we propose a wideband low-scattering metasurface that can realize an in-band reconfigurable transparent window by altering the operation states of the PIN diodes loaded on the structures.The metasurface is composed of a band-pass frequency selective surface(FSS)sandwiched between two polarization conversion metasurfaces(PCMs).PIN diodes are integrated into the FSS to switch the transparent window,while a checkerboard configuration is applied in PCMs for the diffusive-reflective function.A sample with 20×20 elements is designed,fabricated,and experimentally verified.Both simulated and measured results show that the in-band functions can be dynamically switched between beam-splitting scattering and high transmission by controlling the biasing states of the diodes,while low backscattering can be attained outside the passband.Furthermore,the resonant structures of FSS also play the role of feeding lines,thus significantly eliminating extra interference compared with conventional feeding networks.We envision that the proposed metasurface may provide new possibilities for the development of an intelligent stealth platform and its antenna applications.
文摘Cell-free systems significantly improve network capacity by enabling joint user service without cell boundaries,eliminating intercell interference.However,to satisfy further capacity demands,it leads to high-cost problems of both hardware and power consumption.In this paper,we investigate multiple reconfigurable intelligent surfaces(RISs)aided cell-free systems where RISs are introduced to improve spectrum efficiency in an energy-efficient way.To overcome the centralized high complexity and avoid frequent information exchanges,a cooperative distributed beamforming design is proposed to maximize the weighted sum-rate performance.In particular,the alternating optimization method is utilized with the distributed closed-form solution of active beamforming being derived locally at access points,and phase shifts are obtained centrally based on the Riemannian conjugate gradient(RCG)manifold method.Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed design whose performance is comparable to the centralized scheme and show great superiority of the RISs-aided system over the conventional cellular and cell-free system.

文摘In high-speed railway(HSR)wireless communication,the rapid channel changes and limited high-capacity access cause significant impact on the link performance.Meanwhile,the Doppler shift caused by high mobility leads to the inter-carrier interference.In this paper,we propose a reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)-assisted receive spatial modulation(SM)scheme based on the spatial-temporal correlated HSR Rician channel.The characteristics of SM and the phase shift adjustment of RIS are used to mitigate the performance degradation in high mobility scenarios.Considering the influence of channel spatial-temporal correlation and Doppler shift,the effects of different parameters on average bit error rate(BER)performance and upper bound of ergodic capacity are analyzed.Therefore,a joint antenna and RIS-unit selection algorithm based on the antenna removal method is proposed to increase the capacity performance of communication links.Numerical results show that the proposed RIS-assisted receive SM scheme can maintain high transmission capacity compared to the conventional HSR-SM scheme,whereas the degradation of BER performance can be compensated by arranging a large number of RIS-units.In addition,selecting more RIS-units has better capacity performance than activating more antennas in the low signal-to-noise ratio regions.

文摘Electrically tunable homojunctions based on ambipolar two-dimensional materials have attracted widespread attention in the field of intelligent vision.These devices exhibit inherent switchable positive and negative photovoltaic properties that effectively mimic the behavior of human retinal cells.However,the photovoltaic responsivity of most electrically tunable homojunctions remains significantly low due to the weak light absorption,making it challenging to meet the application requirements for high-sensitivity target detection in the field of intelligent vision.Here,we propose a gate-tunable photodiode based on two-dimensional ambipolar WSe_(2)with an asymmetric gate electrode,achieving high photovoltaic responsivity.By adjusting the gate voltage and keeping bias voltage zero,we can dynamically realize reconfigurable n-–p and n-–n homojunction states,as well as gate-tunable photovoltaic response characteristics that range from positive to negative.The maximum photovoltaic responsivity of the electrically tunable WSe_(2)homojunction is approximately 0.4 A/W,which is significantly larger than the previously reported value~0.1 A/W in homojunction devices.In addition,the responsivity can be further enhanced to approximately 1.0 A/W when the n-–p photodiode operates in reverse bias mode,enabling highsensitivity detection of targets.Our work paves the way for developing gate-tunable photodiodes with high photovoltaic responsivity and advancing high-performance intelligent vision technology.

文摘Battery energy storage systems(ESS) have been widely used in mobile base stations(BS) as the main backup power source. Due to the large number of base stations, massive distributed ESSs have largely stayed in idle and very difficult to achieve high asset utilization. In recent years, the fast-paced development of digital energy storage(DES) technology has revolutionized the traditional operation and maintenance of ESSs by transforming them into digital assets, further enabling battery energy storage services, raising up a new way to achieve a much higher utilization of such kind of largely idle ESS resources. In this paper, the disruptive DES technology will be introduced and its application under the context of mobile BSs will be studied, and then a cloud-based energy storage(CES) platform is proposed based on a large scale distributed DESs to provide a new cyber-enabled energy storage service to the local utility company. A real-world case study shows the effectiveness and efficiency of the CES platform.
文摘Metasurfaces, two-dimensional equivalents of metamaterials, are engineered surfaces consisting of deep subwavelength features that have full control of the electromagnetic waves. Metasurfaces are not only being applied to the current de-vices throughout the electromagnetic spectrum from microwave to optics but also inspiring many new thrilling applica-tions such as programmable on-demand optics and photonics in future. In order to overcome the limits imposed by pas-sive metasurfaces, extensive researches have been put on utilizing different materials and mechanisms to design active metasurfaces. In this paper, we review the recent progress in tunable and reconfigurable metasurfaces and metadevicesthrough the different active materials deployed together with the different control mechanisms including electrical, ther-mal, optical, mechanical, and magnetic, and provide the perspective for their future development for applications.

文摘Reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)has been proposed as a potential solution to improve the coverage and spectrum efficiency for future wireless communication.However,the privacy of users’data is often ignored in previous works,such as the user’s location information during channel estimation.In this paper,we propose a privacy-preserving design paradigm combining federated learning(FL)with RIS in the mmWave communication system.Based on FL,the local models are trained and encrypted using the private data managed on each local device.Following this,a global model is generated by aggregating them at the central server.The optimal model is trained for establishing the mapping function between channel state information(CSI)and RIS’configuration matrix in order to maximize the achievable rate of the received signal.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can effectively approach to the theoretical value generated by centralized machine learning(ML),while protecting user’privacy.

文摘Reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)is an emerging meta-surface that can provide additional communications links through reflecting the signals,and has been recognized as a strong candidate of 6G mobile communications systems.Meanwhile,it has been recently admitted that implementing artificial intelligence(AI)into RIS communications will extensively benefit the reconfiguration capacity and enhance the robustness to complicated transmission environments.Besides the conventional model-driven approaches,AI can also deal with the existing signal processing problems in a data-driven manner via digging the inherent characteristic from the real data.Hence,AI is particularly suitable for the signal processing problems over RIS networks under unideal scenarios like modeling mismatching,insufficient resource,hardware impairment,as well as dynamical transmissions.As one of the earliest survey papers,we will introduce the merging of AI and RIS,called AIRIS,over various signal processing topics,including environmental sensing,channel acquisition,beamforming design,and resource scheduling,etc.We will also discuss the challenges of AIRIS and present some interesting future directions.
