Abstract

Currently, most of the research direction goal is to ascertain the impact of a full space coverage enhancement for cellular communication systems. The objective of this paper is to enhancing the space coverage of contemporary cellular communication systems in accordance to the ordinary single Intelligent Reflective Surfaces (S-IRS) Algorithm. MATLAB software has been used to implement the three-dimensional intelligent reflective surface (3D-IRS) technique in order to optimize the wireless coverage in a certain region. The Coverage Maximization Algorithm (CMA) with the same parameters has been demonstrated to show the proposed 3D-IRS which was developed in a well-structured manner to obtain a good margin. The results show that the performance of the system was increased by 16.61% with respect to the singular IRS and shows the leap in aspect of area of spatial horizon measured by squared meters. This application optimizes with a BS power of 2 Watts, the threshold distance increased by 39 meters, while the coverage area expanded by 132520 m². Two IRSs deployments yielded even more coverage of 1583500 m² when applying for the IRSs full integration. In conclusion the entire capacity of 3D-IRS's complete spatial capability, and demonstrated the stability of different IRS settings. Furthermore, the analysis of RSSI indicated that 3D-IRS maintained superior signal quality over increased distances, particularly influenced by the number of reflective elements and the base station transmitting power.
