The insights gained from the study on LoS wide-aperture MIMO systems can be applied to other emerging wireless communication technologies, such as terahertz communications and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS). In terahertz communications, where high-frequency bands are utilized for high-speed data transmission, the optimal antenna configuration and beam focusing techniques can help maximize spectral efficiency and overcome the challenges posed by high path loss and limited communication range. By adapting the proposed schemes to terahertz communication systems, it is possible to achieve higher data rates and improved link reliability in these advanced communication networks.
Similarly, in the context of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, the principles of optimal antenna configuration and beam focusing can be leveraged to enhance the performance of RIS-assisted communication systems. By optimizing the placement and configuration of intelligent reflecting elements, the system can effectively focus and steer signals to desired locations, improving coverage, signal quality, and overall system capacity. The insights from the study on LoS MIMO can guide the design and deployment of RIS-enabled communication networks, enabling efficient and reliable wireless connectivity in diverse environments.
