| contents | The growing demand for high-speed, reliable wireless connectivity in 6G networks necessitates innovative approaches to overcome the limitations of traditional Radio Access Network (RAN). Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) and Network-Controlled Repeater (NCR) have emerged as promising technologies to address coverage challenges in high-frequency millimeter wave (mmW) bands by enhancing signal reach in environments susceptible to blockage and severe propagation losses. In this paper, we propose an optimized deployment framework aimed at minimizing infrastructure costs while ensuring full area coverage using only RIS and NCR. We formulate a cost-minimization optimization problem that integrates the deployment and configuration of these devices to achieve seamless coverage, particularly in dense urban scenarios. Simulation results confirm that this framework significantly reduces the network planning costs while guaranteeing full coverage, demonstrating RIS and NCR's viability as cost-effective solutions for next-generation network infrastructure. |
