Researchers have developed a new method for proactive handovers in millimeter-wave (mmWave) wireless networks, which are prone to signal blockages. The proposed approach utilizes reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) to restore connectivity when no base station is available. To address the configuration time limitations of RIS, the system optimizes the number of allocated RIS elements to balance processing complexity and link quality, thereby improving energy efficiency. This RIS-assisted handover system can achieve significant improvements in signal strength in blocked areas while maintaining accurate handover timing. AI
