­Background Recent years have seen a growing interest in systems and technologies that rely on vision and wireless systems to provide certain capabilities. Examples include vision-aided wireless communications and wireless-vision activity recognition. However, these technologies have a common shortcoming; they do not directly address the association...

Background Large Intelligent Surfaces (LISs) are envisioned as intrinsic components of beyond-5G wireless systems. In its core design concept, an LIS realizes a continuous electromagnetically-active surface by stacking a massive number of radiating/sensing elements. These elements interact with the incident signals, for example by reflecting them,...
