• Abstract: Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) are considered as potential technologies for the upcoming sixth-generation (6G) wireless communication system. Various benefits brought by deploying one or multiple RISs include increased spectrum and energy efficiency, enhanced connectivity, extended communication coverage, reduced complexity at transceivers, and even improved localization accuracy. However, to unleash their full potential, fundamentals related to RISs, ranging from physical-layer (PHY) modelling to RIS phase control, need to be addressed thoroughly. In this paper, we provide an overview of some timely research problems related to the RIS technology, i.e., PHY modelling (including also physics), channel estimation, potential RIS architectures, and RIS phase control (via both model-based and data-driven approaches), along with recent numerical results. We envision that more efforts will be devoted towards intelligent wireless environments, enabled by RISs.

  We develop a new integrated communications and security (ICAS) design paradigm by leveraging the concept of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) We propose RIS-assisted simultaneous transmission and secret key generation by sharing the RIS for these two tasks. Specifically, the legitimate transceivers intend to jointly optimize the data transmission rate and the key generation rate by configuring the phase-shift of the RIS in the presence of a smart attacker.
