“…Despite the inevitable challenges for the efficient orchestration of all dynamically reconfigurable entities in smart wireless environments, several applications of RIS-empowered wireless communication have been lately considered. Among them belong the adoption of RISs for extending signal coverage [48], [49], [50], [51], [52], [53], enabling or boosting accurate localization [54], [55], [56], [57], [58], [59], [60], [61], [62], [63], [64], [65], and enabling physical-layer security [66], [67], [68], [69], [70], [71], [72], [73], [74], [75], [76]. In [77], the coexistence of eMBB and URLLC services in a cellular network that is assisted by an RIS was studied.…”
