SimRIS Channel Simulator for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface-Empowered Communication Systems

Abstract

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted communication appears as one of the potential enablers for sixth generation (6G) wireless networks by providing a new way to optimize the communication system performance. This paper aims to fill an important gap in the open literature by providing an accurate, source, and widely applicable RIS channel model for mmWave frequencies. Our model is not only applicable in various indoor and outdoor environments but also includes the physical aspects of wireless propagation in the presence of an RIS as well as various practical 5G channel modeling issues. The open-source and comprehensive SimRIS Channel Simulator is also introduced in this paper to be used in computer simulations of RIS-assisted communication systems.
