Abstract(in English) Local 5G is a fifth-generation (5G) mobile network that can be built and operated by companies or local governments according to the needs of specific areas, such as factories and logistics warehouses. The 28 GHz band (millimeter wave band), which is expected to be used for local 5G, has strong directivity and significant attenuation due to diffraction, scattering, and transmission, making communication difficult in non-line-of-sight (NLoS) environments. When using millimeter waves in indoor environments, the number of structures can easily result in NLoS environments, and the position of NLoS environments can change due to the movement of objects such as vehicles, requiring means to cope with dynamically changing NLoS environments. In this article, we propose a system that implements reflection control by RIS, converts dynamically changing NLoS areas into line-of-sight (LoS) areas by controlling the propagation path structure using RIS. By using computer simulation based on the ray-tracing method, we confirmed that the received power in the NLoS area can be significantly improved by applying the proposed method.
