Communication method using reconfigurable intelligent surface for hierarchical modulation
A patent application (Publication Number: US20240039615A1) discloses a method and system for communication of electronic signals using a Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS). The method involves receiving a first signal with a predetermined modulation, generating a transmission for a second signal by superimposing it on the modulation of the first signal through adjustments in phase states or amplitude states using RIS, and transmitting the second signal using hierarchical modulation. The first signal is transmitted at a higher data rate than the second signal, enhancing data transmission efficiency.
The system includes a processor and memory configured to execute instructions for receiving the first signal, superimposing the second signal on the modulation of the first signal using RIS, and transmitting the second signal with hierarchical modulation. The system allows for adjustments in phase states or amplitude states to facilitate the superimposition process. Additionally, a base station is included to receive the second signal using hierarchical modulation. The disclosed method and system offer a novel approach to signal communication, optimizing data rates and transmission efficiency through the use of RIS technology. The patent application covers various aspects of the communication process, including modulation schemes like QPSK and 16QAM, as well as the specific methods for adjusting phase and amplitude states for superimposing signals.
