Low-Energy Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces for 6G Communication

In an increasingly connected world, data demand is growing exponentially. To meet this challenge, the Glemoris project focuses on the development of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) as a key technology for the next generation of wireless communications. This technology enables dynamic adaptation of signal transmission to significantly increase the efficiency and capacity of communication networks.

The main objective of the Glemoris project is to develop a novel, energy-efficient RF switch capable of meeting the signal transmission requirements of 6G networks. By using advanced CMOS technology and innovative design methods, we will maximize the energy efficiency of the components used while improving communication quality.

The project is being carried out in close cooperation between National Chung Cheng University (CCU) in Taiwan and the Fraunhofer Institutes IPMS and HHI in Germany. The partnership is intended not only to promote technological advances, but also to facilitate exchanges between students and researchers. These international experiences will strengthen the innovative power of the project partners and promote the exchange of knowledge.

Key objectives:

1. Development of an energy-efficient RF switch: The aim is to reduce the switch's power consumption to less than 1 W while achieving high performance and fast switching times.
2. Integration of RF switches into RIS elements: The development of control algorithms for dynamic adjustment of signal transmission will increase the efficiency and flexibility of the system.
3. System testing and validation: Extensive testing in real-world scenarios will be conducted to demonstrate the performance of the developed technologies.

Collaboration and exchange

A central component of the project is the exchange of students and researchers between Taiwan and Germany. This exchange will not only expand technical knowledge, but also strengthen international cooperation and broaden the cultural perspective of the participants.

Project results and prospects

The expected results of the project include not only technological innovations in the field of RF communication, but also the development of new training formats and technologies that will be crucial for future applications in smart cities and IoT networks. The Glemoris project is thus positioning itself as a pioneer in the development of sustainable and powerful communication technologies for the future.
