Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces: Optimal Positioning and Coverage Improvement

With the emergence of future mobile generations beyond 5G, novel technologies are studied to satisfy the envisioned requirements of future services such as Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) or Virtual Reality. Among these technologies, Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) arise...

However, multiple challenges have to be addressed before they can be deployed. In this thesis, we study strategies for positioning the RIS to achieve maximum SNR coverage in an outdoor propagation environment. Our model takes into account the effects of shadow fading and line-of-sight (LoS). A comparison between centralized and distributed deployments is also considered.
