Multi-Functional Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface Assisted Security Communication Systems Under Imperfect CSI of Eavesdroppers by Rui-Bao Zhang, Dian-Wu Yue, Yu Sun

“…In order to overcome the “multiplicative fading” loss and half-space coverage limitations faced by reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) in secure communications, a more practical multi-functional reconfigurable intelligent surface (MF-RIS) with coupled phase shifts is introduced to assist in enhancing the security performance of multiple-input single-output (MISO) systems. In addition, the paper especially focuses on the case where the eavesdropper’s channel state information (CSI) is imperfect. …”
