Smart communication small base station

What is a small-cell base station (SBS) antenna?

To address the growing demand, 5G technology is being implemented at a larger scale. Small-cell Base Station (SBS) antennas are crucial for exploring the full potential of 5G networks by expanding the network in urban areas, densely populated regions, indoor environments, and low-coverage zones.

Can a programmable metasurface build a smart base station framework for 6g?

Here, we propose a large-scale 2-bit millimeter-wave programmable metasurface to build an integrated smart base station framework for 6G communications. The meta-array is composed of 30 × 30 meta-elements, each with two embedded positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) diodes.

How a beamforming system enables smart communication of new types of base stations?

The independent and reconfigurable capabilities in manipulating the propagation directions of four streams have facilitated the smart communication of the new types of base stations. We summarize the properties of the proposed beamforming system in Table 1.

Can a smart 6G base station support single-stream wireless communication?

Single-stream wireless communication. For illustrating the potential of the proposed prototype in the application of a smart 6G base station, we take the proposed system to assist a millimeter-wave base station and validate its performance of wireless communication in a realistic indoor scenario.
