Simultaneously Transmitting and Reflecting Surfaces for Wireless Communications (無線通信的同時發射與反射表面)

本書首先從電磁（EM）和通信的角度討論同時傳輸和反射表面（STARS）的基本原理。接著介紹了在無線通信中使用STARS的基本信號和通道模型。然後，強調了STARS的不同類別及其可能的硬體實現。接下來，作者專注於STARS輔助的無線通信。作者提供了STARS的全面性能分析，包括中斷概率、多樣性增益和功率縮放法則。此外，還討論了在不同相位移模型下STARS的操作協議和相應的波束形成設計。

作為進一步的發展，本書介紹了機器學習工具在STARS輔助無線通信中的應用，以解決波束形成設計和資源分配問題。未來無線網絡中新穎的STARS輔助集成感知與通信（ISAC）也通過幾個案例研究進行了討論。在本書中，讀者將深入探索STARS的概念。內容涵蓋了STARS研究的全面調查，包括原則、實現、性能評估和應用。通過對STARS家族的綜合回顧，本書成為了解STARS研究完整流程的寶貴資源。最後，作者總結本書，強調了STARS的幾個未來研究方向。

本書的目標讀者為研究無線通信的研究生、本科生及研究人員。業界和政府的無線通信工程師也會希望購買本書。
