Indoor wireless signal coverage and enhancement based on passive reconfigurable intelligent metasurface by Haixia LIU, Hao YI, Xiangjin MA, Shuyao YUE, Xudong KONG, Pei MA, Yuxin ZENG, Long LI

“…Reconfigurable intelligent metasurface (RIS) is a new type of artificial electromagnetic metamaterial, which can control the frequency, amplitude, phase, polarization, propagation direction and wave type of electromagnetic wave flexibly.In the field of wireless communication, RIS can be used to reconstruct the wireless communication channel to achieve blind coverage of wireless signals and improve the communication quality.First, the development and research status of RIS, the key technologies and application scenarios of RIS were summarized and analyzed.Then, a new passive RIS was proposed to realize the characteristics of the aperture reconfiguration and beam reconfiguration through passive coding and splicing principle, which had the advantages of low cost, low power consumption and low complexity.Finally, the blind area coverage enhancement experiment of indoor wireless signal based on passive reflection metasurface was carried out.The effectiveness of passive splicing metasurface in wireless communication blind coverage scenarios was proved by comparison between simulation and field measurement.In addition, for 5G/6G millimeter wave communication, the passive RIS with double-layer cross dipole elements was designed and applied to typical indoor L-shaped corridor scene to verify the enhancement effect of indoor wireless signal coverage.…”

Wi-Pest:a method for detecting stored grain pests based on CSI by Shaowei SHAN, Weidong YANG, Le XIAO, Ke WANG

“…The environmental and biological factors that affect the food security during the food storage,such as the food temperature,environment humidity,moisture,gas,mildew,pests and others pose a threat to the food storage security,among which the pest is an important factor threatening food storage security.Therefore,a fast and effective detection method is needed to detect stored grain pests.Some of the existing methods are time consuming,using expensive equipment,potentially harmful to health and inefficient.A non-contact,fast and low-cost detection method for stored grain pests based on the amplitude of the channel state information (CSI) was proposed,namely,wireless-pest (Wi-Pest).The feasibility of the pest detection in the stored grain was verified by using CSI amplitude data.On this basis,a Wi-Pest detection method was designed.Firstly,the amplitude data of CSI was preprocessed by outliers removal,data normalization and noise elimination.Then the principal component analysis (PCA) was used to compress the data and extract the main feature components.Finally,random forest (RF) classification method was used to detect stored grain pests.Experiments show that the abnormal density of live pests in grain heaps can be detected under the line of sight (LOS) scenario,and the detection accuracy of the proposed method can reach 97% on average.…”
