Abstract:Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) plays a pivotal role in the sixth generation networks to enhance communication rate and localization accuracy. In this letter, we propose a positioning algorithm in a RIS-assisted environment, where the Base Station (BS) is multi-antenna, and the Mobile Station (MS) is single-antenna. We show that our method can achieve a high-precision positioning if the line-of-sight (LOS) is obstructed and three RISs are available. We send several known signals to the receiver in different time slots and change the phase shifters of the RISs simultaneously in a proper way, and we propose a technique to eliminate the destructive effect of the angle-of-departure (AoD) in order to determine the distances between each RISs and the MS. The accuracy of the proposed algorithm is better than the algorithms which do not estimate the AoD, shown in the numerical result section.
