Abstract: The development of metasurfaces has unlocked various use cases in wireless communication networks to improve performance by manipulating the propagation environment. Intelligent omni-surface (IOS), an innovative technique in this category, is proposed for coverage extension. In contrast to the widely studied reflective metasurfaces, i.e., intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs), which can only serve receivers located on the same side of the transmitter, the IOS can achieve full-dimensional wireless communications by enabling the simultaneous reflection and refraction of the surface, and thus users on both sides can be served, and thus the designs for the IRS cannot be applied to the IOS. In this talk, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in IOS from the perspective of wireless communications, with the emphasis on their design principles, channel modeling, beamforming design, experimental implementation and measurements, as well as possible applications in future cellular networks.
