Abstract

Abstract

Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) is considered as one of the potential key technologies for 6G mobile communications, which offers advantages such as low cost, low energy consumption, and easy deployment. By integrating RIS technology into marine wireless channels, it has the capability to convert the unpredictable wireless transmission environment into a manageable one. However, current channel models are struggling to accurately depict the unique signal transmission mechanisms of RIS-enabled base station to ship channels in marine communication scenarios, resulting in challenges in achieving a balance between accuracy and complexity for channel characterization and theoretical establishment. Therefore, this paper develops a segmented channel modeling method for near-field RIS-enabled marine communications, and then proposed a multi-domain joint parameterized statistical channel model for RIS-enabled marine communications. This approach focus on addressing the technical bottleneck of existing RIS channel modeling methods that face difficulties in achieving a balance between accuracy and efficiency, ultimately facilitating the rapid development of the 6G mobile communication industry in China.
