title = "Mobility-Aware Beam Steering in Metasurface-Based Programmable Wireless Environments",
abstract = "Programmable wireless environments (PWEs) utilize electromagnetic metasurfaces to transform wireless propagation into a software-controlled resource. In this work we study the effects of user device mobility on the efficiency of PWEs. An analytical model is proposed, which describes the potential misalignment between user-emitted waves and the active PWE configuration, and can constitute the basis for studying queuing problems in PWEs. Subsequently, a novel, beam steering approach is proposed which can effectively mitigate the misalignment effects. Ray-tracing-based simulations evaluate the proposed scheme.",
