Abstract

Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) are positioned as one of the key enabling technologies for 6G networks as they can provide ubiquitous coverage for areas with blocked line-of-sight (LOS) links. However, to be successfully integrated into functional networks such structures will require the addition of sensors and other radio network elements, thereby resulting in a multi-functional RIS (MF-RIS). These structures are expected to be deployed for integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) and radar and communication coexistence (RCC) in 6G, which will enhance the performance of radio communication and enable a smart wireless environment (SWE) that is programmable and self-reconfigurable. This survey provides an up-to-date summary of the state of the art. It considers applications for MF-RISs and the challenges associated with their deployment.

集成传感与通信中多功能混合可重构智能曲面的出现——综述

可重构智能表面（RIS）被定位为6G网络的关键使能技术之一，因为它们可以为视线（LOS）受阻的区域提供无处不在的覆盖。然而，要成功地集成到功能网络中，这种结构将需要添加传感器和其他无线电网络元件，从而形成多功能RIS （MF-RIS）。这些结构预计将用于6G的集成传感和通信（ISAC）以及雷达和通信共存（RCC），这将增强无线电通信的性能，并实现可编程和自重构的智能无线环境（SWE）。这项调查提供了最新的技术状况摘要。它考虑了MF-RISs的应用以及与部署相关的挑战。

期刊介绍： IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials is an online journal published by the IEEE Communications Society for tutorials and surveys covering all aspects of the communications field. Telecommunications technology is progressing at a rapid pace, and the IEEE Communications Society is committed to providing researchers and other professionals the information and tools to stay abreast. IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials focuses on integrating and adding understanding to the existing literature on communications, putting results in context. Whether searching for in-depth information about a familiar area or an introduction into a new area, IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials aims to be the premier source of peer-reviewed, comprehensive tutorials and surveys, and pointers to further sources. IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials publishes only articles exclusively written for IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials and go through a rigorous review process before their publication in the quarterly issues. A tutorial article in the IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials should be designed to help the reader to become familiar with and learn something specific about a chosen topic. In contrast, the term survey, as applied here, is defined to mean a survey of the literature. A survey article in IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials should provide a comprehensive review of developments in a selected area, covering its development from its inception to its current state and beyond, and illustrating its development through liberal citations from the literature. Both tutorials and surveys should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article.
