SUMMARY:Modelling and Design of Smart Radio Environments
DESCRIPTION:Since 2019\, reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has attracted a lot of interests from both academia and industry. In this talk\, Professor Jie Zhang will first introduce their pioneering work on Smart Radio Environments back to 2012 in a 2.2 million Euros research project titled “Wireless Friendly Energy Efficient Buildings (WiFEEB)” in which frequency selective surfaces\, intelligent walls and reconfigurable intelligent structures were studied. Then\, he will give an introduction of their ground-breaking work on the establishment of a theoretical building wireless performance (BWP) evaluation framework that can be used to quantify the wireless performance of a building layout (i.e.\, given a building design/floorplan\, tells how “wireless friendly” it is). Next\, he will briefly introduce the progress on RIS simulation that they have made in a South Korea – UK joint R&D project titled “AI-powered Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (AIRIS)”.  Finally\, he will discuss how to use the BWP evaluation framework to analyse the impact of smart radio environments on the indoor wireless network performance such as the deployment of RIS. \nBiography of the speaker: \nProfessor Jie Zhang has held the Chair in Wireless Systems at the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering\, University of Sheffield\, Sheffield\, U.K.\, on a part-time basis\, since January 2011. He is also the Founder\, Board Director and  Chief Scientific Officer of Ranplan Wireless\, Cambridge\, U.K.\, a public company listed on Nasdaq First North and a professor at HIT Shenzhen since 2023. Ranplan Wireless produces a suite of world leading indoor and the first joint indoor-outdoor radio access network planning tool — Ranplan Professional\, which is being used over 300 industrial and academic customers including all the top 5 telecom equipment vendors\, the world’s largest mobile operators\, and leading research organisations. Along with his students and colleagues\, he has pioneered research in small cell and heterogeneous network and published some of the landmark papers and book on these topics\, widely used by both academia and industry. Since 2010\, he and his team have also developed ground-breaking work in smart radio environment and building wireless performance modelling\, evaluation and optimisation\, the key concepts of which were introduced in a paper titled “Fundamental Wireless Performance of a Building”\, IEEE Wireless Communications\, 29(1)\, 2022. His Google scholar citations are in excess of 9000 with an H-index of 41. He received a PhD in Industrial Automation from East China University of Science and Technology\, Shanghai\, China\, in 1995. Prior to joining the University of Sheffield\, he had studied/worked with Imperial College London\, Oxford University\, and University of Bedfordshire\, reaching a status of Senior Lecturer\, Reader and Professor in 2002\, 2005 and 2006\, respectively.\n\nAll are welcome.
