Vertical Pinching Antenna Systems (V-PAS) Aided UAV Communications
Tao Wang, Kunrui Cao, Yayun Qu +4
To address the limitation that existing horizontal pinching antenna systems (PAS) are primarily designed for ground users and confined to two-dimensional (2D) coverage, this paper…
Non-Uniform Codebook Design for Optical IRS-Assisted VLC Systems
Rashid Iqbal, Dimitrios Bozanis, Dimitrios Tyrovolas +4
Optical intelligent reflecting surfaces (OIRS) can improve the coverage of indoor visible light communication (VLC) systems, however, practical deployment requires a finite offline…
When Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Meets Wireless Communications: A Survey
Konstantinos Gounis, Sotiris A. Tegos, Dimitrios Tyrovolas +2
This paper surveys the state-of-the-art in the nexus of SLAM and Wireless Communications, attributing the bidirectional impact of each with a focus on visual SLAM (V-SLAM) integrat…
Quantized Zero-Energy RIS: Residual Phase Modeling and Outage Analysis
Dimitrios Tyrovolas, Sotiris A. Tegos, Kunrui Cao +6
Zero-energy reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (zeRISs) have recently emerged as a promising solution for enabling energy-efficient and scalable programmable wireless environments…
SCROOGE: A Physics-Aware Framework for Efficient Orchestration of RIS-Assisted Networks
Alexandros I. Papadopoulos, Sotiris Kopsinos, Dimitrios Tyrovolas +4
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) are emerging as a key enabler of Programmable Wireless Environments for 6G, but their practical integration into operational networks sti…
Enabling mmWave Communications with VCSEL-Based Light-Emitting Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces
Rashid Iqbal, Dimitrios Bozanis, Dimitrios Tyrovolas +4
This paper proposes a light-emitting reconfigurable intelligent surface (LeRIS) architecture that integrates vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) to jointly support use…
