Talk Title: Stacked Intelligent Metasurfaces: Communication, Computing and Sensing in the Wave Domain
Abstract: Next-generation wireless networks are expected to utilize the limited radio frequency resources more efficiently with the aid of intelligent transceivers. In this talk, we propose a recent transceiver architecture that relies on stacked intelligent metasurfaces (SIM). An SIM is constructed by stacking an array of programmable metasurface layers, where each layer consists of a massive number of simple meta-atoms that individually manipulate the electromagnetic waves. We provide an overview of SIM-aided MIMO transceivers, including their novelty, hardware architecture, and potential benefits over state-of-the-art solutions for communication, computing, and sensing applications.
