description Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) not only enable software-defined radio in modern wireless communication networks but also have the potential to be utilized for localization. Most previous works used channel matrices to calculate locations, requiring extensive field measurements, which leads to rapidly growing complexity. Although a few studies have designed fingerprint-based systems, they are only feasible under an unrealistic assumption that the RIS will be deployed only for localization purposes. Additionally, all these methods utilize RIS codewords for location inference, inducing considerable communication burdens. In this paper, we propose a new localization technique for RIS-enhanced environments that does not require RIS codewords for online location inference. Our proposed approach extracts codeword-independent representations of fingerprints using a domain adversarial neural network. We evaluated our solution using the DeepMIMO dataset. Due to the lack of results from other studies, for fair comparisons, we define oracle and baseline cases, which are the theoretical upper and lower bounds of our system, respectively. In all experiments, our proposed solution performed much more similarly to the oracle cases than the baseline cases, demonstrating the effectiveness and robustness of our method.
