Περίληψη | This work exploits ultra-low cost, commodity, radio frequency identification (RFID) tags as elements of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). Such batteryless tags are powered and controlled by a software-defined radio reader, with properly modified software, so that a source-destination link is assisted, operating at a different band. Signal model includes small-scale and large-scale fading, direct link, as well as specific parameters relevant to reflection (i.e., backscatter) radio, such as antenna structural mode and reflection efficiency, typically overlooked in the literature. An algorithm is offered that computes the optimal RIS configuration with complexity of O(MlogM) in number of elements M , instead of intractable exponential complexity of exhaustive search, while accommodating any number K≥2 of loads. With the proposed algorithm, it is shown that performance gains reach a plateau for constant element spacing and increasing number of elements, suggesting that the weak, passive nature of backscattered links limits the performance gains, even with perfect channel estimation. Channel estimation with linear minimum mean squared error (LMMSE) estimator is shown to be effective, provided that there are sufficient number of pilot symbols. A concrete way is offered to design and prototype a wireless, batteryless, RF-powered, reconfigurable surface and a proof-of-concept is experimentally demonstrated. | en |
