Cooperative vehicular systems are currently being investigated to design innovative ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) solutions for road traffic management and safety. Through the wireless exchange of information between vehicles, and between vehicles and infrastructure nodes, cooperative systems can support novel decentralized strategies for ubiquitous and more cost-attractive traffic m...

Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) are software-controlled passive devices that can be used as relay (R) systems to reflect incoming signals from a source (S) destination (D) in cooperative manner with optimum signal strength improve the performance of wireless communication networks. The configurability and flexibility an RIS deployed Internet-of-Things (IoT)-based network enable desig...
