Toward Smart Wireless Communications via Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces: A Contemporary Survey
Open accessAbstract
This paper presents a literature review on recent applications and design aspects of the intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) in the future wireless networks. Conventionally, the network optimization has been limited to transmission control at two endpoints, i.e., end users and network controller. The fading wireless channel is uncontrollable and becomes one of the main limiting factors for performance improvement. The IRS is composed of a large array of scattering elements, which can be individually configured to generate additional phase shifts to the signal reflections. Hence, it can actively control the signal propagation properties in favor of signal reception, and thus realize the notion of a smart radio environment. As such, the IRS's phase control, combined with the conventional transmission control, can potentially bring performance gain compared to wireless networks without IRS. In this survey, we first introduce basic concepts of the IRS and the realizations of its reconfigurability. Then, we focus on applications of the IRS in wireless communications. We overview different performance metrics and analytical approaches to characterize the performance improvement of IRS-assisted wireless networks. To exploit the performance gain, we discuss the joint optimization of the IRS's phase control and the transceivers' transmission control in different network design problems, e.g., rate maximization and power minimization problems. Furthermore, we extend the discussion of IRS-assisted wireless networks to some emerging use cases. Finally, we highlight important practical challenges and future research directions for realizing IRS-assisted wireless networks in beyond 5G communications.

By adequately training and configuring the transmission coefficients of the meta-atoms using error backpropagation, a SIM is capable of performing desired functions through the interactions of spatial electromagnetic waves with the metasurface layers.
“By adequately training and configuring the transmission coefficients of the meta-atoms using error backpropagation, a SIM is capable of performing desired functions through the interactions of spatial EM waves with the metasurface layers [15], [16].”
From Emerging Technologies in Intelligent Metasurfaces: Shaping the Future of Wireless Communications (2026) · cites this paper as [16]
The Theory and Design section (p. 5) says metasurface elements transform incident electromagnetic waves, and Typical Tunable Functions (p. 7) describes controlling elements to produce desired wave patterns. The copy does not support the more specific claim about a multilayer SIM trained by error backpropagation through meta-atom transmission coefficients; the relevant passages discuss reflecting surfaces and phase control instead.

The ‘Analog Computing’ passage (p. 8) says a metasurface can perform operations on incident waves with higher energy efficiency than conventional digital signal processing. It does not describe HOENN or a SIM preprocessing spatial EM waves to reduce an electronic neural network’s size or computational load. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
