Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces and Machine Learning for Wireless Fingerprinting Localization
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) promise improved, secure and more efficient wireless communications. We propose and demonstrate how to exploit the diversity offered by RISs to generate and select easily differentiable radio maps for use in wireless fingerprinting localization applications. Further, we apply machine learning feature selection methods to prune the large state space of the RIS, thus reducing complexity and enhancing localization accuracy and position acquisition time. We evaluate our proposed approach by generation of radio maps with a novel radio propagation modelling and simulations.
