What are the Promising Use Cases for RIS in 6G?

This video was recorded for the 3rd General Assembly of the RIS Tech Alliance on Nov 9th, 2024, in China. Professor Emil Björnson (KTH) describes his view on what the most promising use cases are for reconfigurable intelligent surfaces in 6G networks, particularly those operating in the upper mid-band. The presentation is based on the paper "Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces in Upper Mid-Band 6G Networks: Gain or Pain?", co-authored by Ferdi Kara and Özlem Tugfe Demir.

Abstract: Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) have emerged as one of the most studied topics in recent years, hailed as a transformative technology with the potential to revolutionize future wireless systems. While RISs are recognized for their ability to enhance spectral efficiency, coverage, and the reliability of wireless channels, several challenges remain. Notably, convincing and profitable use cases must be developed before widespread commercial deployment can be realized. The first sixth-generation (6G) networks will most likely utilize upper mid-band frequencies (i.e., 7-24 GHz). This is regarded as the golden band since it combines good coverage, much new spectrum, and enables many antennas in compact form factors. There has been much prior work on channel modeling, coexistence, and possible implementation scenarios for these bands. There are significant frequency-specific challenges related to RIS deployment, use cases, number of required elements, channel estimation, and control. These are previously unaddressed for the upper mid-band. In this paper, we aim to bridge this gap by exploring various use cases, including RIS-assisted fixed wireless access (FWA), enhanced capacity in mobile communications, and increased reliability at the cell edge. We identify the conditions under which RIS can provide major benefits and optimal strategies for deploying RIS to enhance the performance of 6G upper mid-band communication systems.
