Artificial Intelligence Metasurface Communications for Massive Connectivity

MU-MIMO systems today are limited by the tradeoff between capacity and cost. In this paper, we propose an artificial intelligence-based communication system as a new approach with potency to eliminate these tradeoff. Metasurface as a reconfigurable intelligent surface chosen to be the main transmitting component based on its capability to process software-friendly data format, which possibly increases flexibility on various multi-user cases. Based on simulation results, we show that the proposed system is advantageous in terms of significant design simplification with auto-encoder based deep learning systems.
