Wireless communication systems are instrumental to various emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and autonomous driving [1], [2], [3]. Collectively, these technologies rely on wireless systems in their operation, and, as such, they are driving a surge in demand for wireless services, which translates into increasing demands for data rates.
Spectrum scarcity has motivated the exploration of the millimeter-wave (mmWave) band as a key technology to cope with the ever-increasing data traffic. However, in this band, radiofrequency waves are highly susceptible to transmission loss and blockage. Recently, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) have been proposed to transform the random nature of the propagation channel into a programmable and controllable radio environment.
