Abstract: Accurate estimation and detection, along with phase shift optimization, are vital for implementing reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-enabled multi-antenna systems in highly disruptive industrial IoT environments. Motivated by the remarkable capabilities of deep learning (DL) techniques, this paper introduces a pioneering approach to address challenges in channel estimation, channel correlation prediction, and symbol detection for industrial IoT. We develop an optimization framework for large-scale IoT deployments to maximize the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) while minimizing transmit power. We also propose a transformer-based channel correlation predictor for IoT devices, which enables adaptive pilot retransmissions and reduces training overhead through a co-design approach that integrates communication, computation, and control. Extensive simulations under realistic, time-varying industrial IoT channel conditions demonstrate the superiority of our DL-driven approach, achieving significant improvements in detection accuracy and SINR.
