Special Issue on Smart Electromagnetic Environment
OCTOBER 2022 | VOLUME 70| NUMBER 10
This Special Issue highlights important aspects related to the implementation of a “Smart Electromagnetic Environment,” where the propagation environment is considered together with the wireless infrastructure and the users, in a holistic approach going beyond the standard concepts of wireless infrastructure/channel.
