This paper proposes a novel cyclic-prefixed single-carrier transmission scheme that amalgamate a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) with spatial modulation in the frequency-selective fading channel. The discrete-input continuous-output memoryless channel's~(DCMC) capacities of the proposed schemes are formulated, while their gradients with respect to the RIS phase shifts are derived in the closed form. Then, the gradients are used for iteratively and efficiently optimizing the proposed RIS-aided schemes with the aid of the gradient-ascent algorithm. Our performance results demonstrate that the proposed iterative algorithm enhances the DCMC capacity of the schemes, while outperforming the conventional RIS benchmarks. Moreover, the convergence behavior and sensitivity in the proposed iterative algorithm are analyzed.
This work considers a Differential Reflecting Modulation (DRM) scheme for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) not requiring channel state information (CSI). When operating over time-varying fading channels, such schemes with Conventional Differential Demodulation (CDD) rece…
While LC technology facilitates the realization of energy-efficient and scalable RISs, their phase shift response is inherently temperature-dependent. Neglecting this thermal dependency can lead to performance degradation, which is particularly detrimental in secure wireless syst…

Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) need measurement methodologies that quantify the three-dimensional scattering response of a programmed surface, not only the received power of one bistatic link. This paper presents an automated anechoic-chamber methodology for full-sphe…
In this letter, three novel spatial modulation (SM) schemes specifically designed for pinching-antenna systems (PASS) are proposed, offering a flexible trade-off between bit error rate (BER) performance and decoder computational complexity. The proposed one-dimensional quadrature…
