• Abstract summary: This paper presents a novel approach for the joint design of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) and a transmitter-receiver pair. The RIS is a software-defined array of unit cells that can be controlled in terms of the scattering and reflection profiles to focus the incoming signals from the transmitter to the receiver. The operation of the transmitter-receiver pair are trained together as a set of deep neural networks (DNNs) to optimize the end-to-end communication performance at the receiver.

• Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach for the joint design of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) and a transmitter-receiver pair that are trained together as a set of deep neural networks (DNNs) to optimize the end-to-end communication performance at the receiver. The RIS is a software-defined array of unit cells that can be controlled in terms of the scattering and reflection profiles to focus the incoming signals from the transmitter to the receiver. The benefit of the RIS is to improve the coverage and spectral efficiency for wireless communications by overcoming physical obstructions of the line-of-sight (LoS) links. The selection process of the RIS beam codeword (out of a pre-defined codebook) is formulated as a DNN, while the operations of the transmitter-receiver pair are modeled as two DNNs, one for the encoder (at the transmitter) and the other one for the decoder (at the receiver) of an autoencoder, by accounting for channel effects including those induced by the RIS in between. The underlying DNNs are jointly trained to minimize the symbol error rate at the receiver. Numerical results show that the proposed design achieves major gains in error performance with respect to various baseline schemes, where no RIS is used or the selection of the RIS beam is separated from the design of the transmitter-receiver pair.

  This paper introduces a deep learning approach to dynamic spectrum access, leveraging the synergy of multi-modal image and spectrum data for the identification of potential transmitters.

  Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) can significantly enhance the service coverage of Tera-Hertz massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. However, obtaining accurate high-dimensional channel state information (CSI) with limited pilot and feedback signaling overhead is challenging. This paper proposes a deep learning (DL)-based rate-splitting multiple access scheme for RIS-aided Tera-Hertz multi-user multiple access systems.

  A novel end-to-end learning approach, namely JTRD-Net, is proposed for uplink multiuser single-input multiple-output (MU-SIMO) joint transmitter and non-coherent receiver design (JTRD) in fading channels. The transmitter side is modeled as a group of parallel linear layers, which are responsible for multiuser waveform design. The non-coherent receiver is formed by a deep feed-forward neural network (DFNN) so as to provide multiuser detection (MUD) capabilities.

  Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) usually works in passive mode.
