Intelligent Reflecting Surface-enabled High-speed 6G Wireless Networks

智能反射面(IRS)是一项突破性的无线技术，对未来第六代(6G)无线通信网络的发展至关重要。该项目旨在开发基本的通信理论和实用解决方案，以描述和优化基于IRS的通信。该项目预计将设计新的信道估计、稳健的波束形成、资源分配和分析框架，以应对IRS开发支持高速6G网络的重大科学挑战。预计这些成果将有助于建立一种新型的无线基础设施，为建设和改造澳大利亚的信息和通信技术产业铺平道路。

Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is a ground-breaking wireless technology essential for the development of future sixth-generation (6G) wireless communication networks. This project aims to develop fundamental communication theories and practical solutions to characterise and optimise IRS-based communication. The project expects to design novel channel estimation, robust beamforming, resource allocation and analytical framework to address the significant scientific challenges for the development of IRS for enabling high-speed 6G networks. These outcomes are expected to contribute to a new type of wireless infrastructure which paves the way for building and transforming the Australian information and communications technology industries.
