With the continuous advancement of wireless mobile communication technologies, user demand for high−quality communication services is growing significantly. As distance increases, the signal weakens at the cell edge, and the issue of insufficient base station coverage in these areas becomes a key factor constraining communication quality. Consequently, enhancing the performance of cell−edge users has become a major research focus in the field of wireless communications. Addressing this challenge, this study proposes utilizing reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) technology to achieve near−field focusing in the 3.5 GHz band to enhance cell−edge coverage. The near−field focusing effect of the electromagnetic superstructure was verified through both theoretical calculation and full−wave electromagnetic simulation. The analysis results indicated that RIS can achieve near−field focusing of electromagnetic waves by precisely controlling the phase of the electromagnetic waves. Field trial measurement in outdoor environments using a constructed RIS proof−of−concept prototype measured signal strength at various positions within the near−field region, validating the RIS's near−field focusing capability. System performance tests were conducted to evaluate the signal enhancement based on RIS near−field focusing, combined with a commercial base station antenna. Experimental results demonstrate that the intelligent metasurface exhibits excellent coverage enhancement effects in near−field focusing and can improve communication quality in the edge regions of base stations.
