Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces for 6G-Enabled Vehicle-to-Everything Communication

Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) are emerging as a pivotal technology for advancing 6G-enabled vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, offering a new way to control and enhance wireless signal propagation in complex transportation environments. By enabling ultra-reliable, low-latency, and energy-efficient connectivity, RIS plays a critical role in supporting autonomous driving, cooperative traffic systems, and next-generation smart mobility. The integration of AI-driven optimization, advanced beamforming, and intelligent resource allocation allows RIS-assisted networks to adapt dynamically to rapidly changing vehicular conditions. Ultimately, this technology strengthens safety, mobility, and communication efficiency across intelligent transportation ecosystems, pushing the boundaries of what connected vehicles can achieve. Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces for 6G-Enabled Vehicle-to-Everything Communication provides a comprehensive understanding of how RIS are transforming the next generation of V2X networks in the era of 6G and beyond. It explores the principles, design methodologies, algorithms, and applications of RIS in vehicular communication systems, emphasizing its role in enabling ultra-reliable, low-latency, and energy-efficient connectivity for intelligent transportation systems. Covering topics such as 6G vehicular networks, physical layer security, and vehicular communication, this book is an excellent resource for researchers, academicians, faculty, postgraduate students, engineers, industry professionals, policymakers, developers, and more.
