ARIADNE - RIS based NLOS connectivity

This use case is considering application of RIS, which are dynamically reconfigured to track slowly moving users and devices, to enable communications responding to specific requirements of currently demanded applications and services.

Here, the following two specific scenarios are defined for investigation in ARIADNE:

• Advanced indoor connectivity – where RIS assisted communications is establishing alternative LOS hops via RIS, which are attached on the walls within an indoor environment (home, school classes, production halls, etc.)
• Data kiosk scenario – where a large amount of data so beamed to slowly moving users/devices during a limited time period, enabling download of required data, e.g. at particular point of interests in the cities close to touristic attractions, cars queuing in front of tool stations, users located in buses and trains during stops at stations, etc.
