RSS Fingerprinting Based Multi-user Outdoor Localization Using Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces

The received signal strength (RSS) fingerprinting based localization is a widely used technique to locate mobile devices in cellular networks. However, traditional RSS finger-printing based techniques require a set of RSS values from multiple base stations (BSs) at each location, and the RSS from remote BSs is weak and easily affected by the noise and other variations of the propagation channel, w...
