Abstract

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-empowered communication has recently drawn significant attention due to its superior capability in manipulating the wireless propagation environment. However, the channel modeling and measurement of RIS-assisted wireless communication systems in real environment has not been adequately studied. In this paper, we construct a channel measurement system using vector network analyzer (VNA) is used to investigate RIS-assisted wireless communication channel in outdoor scenarios at 2.6 GHz. New path loss (PL) models including angle domain information are proposed by refining the traditional close-in (CI) and floating-intercept (FI) models. In the proposed models, both influences of the distance from transmitter (TX) to RIS and the distance from receiver (RX) to RIS on the PL, are taken into account. In addition, the value of root mean square (RMS) delay spread of RIS-assisted wireless communication is found to be much smaller than that of the traditional non line-of-sight (NLOS) case, implying that RIS provides a virtual line-of-sight (LOS) link.
