Abstract
Aiming to address the problem of limited transmission distance in applying reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) technology, this study leverages a tunnel simulation platform to investigate RIS-assisted wireless communication systems. Through theoretical derivation, we propose a path loss model formula specifically applicable to tunnel scenarios. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed model accurately reflects the communication performance characteristics of RIS in tunnel scenarios, verifying the capability of RIS technology to enhance signal transmission distance within tunnels in rail transit engineering applications. This finding highlights the significant engineering potential and value of RIS technology.
期刊介绍:
Sensors (ISSN 1424-8220) provides an advanced forum for the science and technology of sensors and biosensors. It publishes reviews (including comprehensive reviews on the complete sensors products), regular research papers and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
