SimRIS Channel Simulator v2.0 Release Note
We're excited to announce the release of SimRIS Channel Simulator v2.0! This significant update brings new features, enhanced capabilities, and improved usability to our open-source simulator for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS)-empowered networks.
What's New
-
MIMO Terminal Support: SimRIS v2.0 now includes support for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) terminals with different types of arrays. Choose between Uniform Linear Array (ULA) and Uniform Planar Array (UPA) configurations to accurately model various real-world scenarios.
-
Expanded Environments: We've expanded our simulator's coverage to include both indoor and outdoor wireless propagation environments. Whether it's an Indoor Hotspot (InH) or an Urban Microcellar (UMi), SimRIS v2.0 has got you covered.
-
Graphical User Interface (GUI) Enhancements: Our user-friendly GUI has been refined for more intuitive scenario setup. Customize your simulation by specifying terminal positions, array types, element counts, and more, all through a streamlined and interactive interface.
Getting Started
To quickly get started with SimRIS Channel Simulator v2.0, follow these steps:
- Clone or download this repository to your local machine.
- Open the SimRIS_GUI.m and run it in MATLAB.
- In the opened GUI, choose and select all parameters. Then, click the "Run SimRIS" button! (Note: SimRIS needs a parallel computing toolbox!)
- If the simulation is not executed, please check the Error Control Box!
- If the simulation is succesfully executed, H (NxNtxNsym), G (NrxNxNsym), and D (NrxNtxNsym) can be directly used from the MATLAB workspace. N: Number of Transmit Reflectors, Nt: Number of Transmit Antennas, Nr: Number of Receive Antennas, Nsym: Number of Channel Realizations
- Using the "Save as" button, the channels can be downloaded as a ".mat" format.
