Effect of Intelligent Reflecting Surface on WSN Communication With Access Points Configuration

As signal quality and communication channel reliability is critical for wireless communication, and to overcome some of the negative effects affecting the transmitted signals and data, due to environment and line-of-sight problems, and to enable internet based, on-line, and IoT applications, the use of Intelligent Reflecting Surface devices (IRS) become critical. Thus, this work objective is to simulate, model, and analyze parameters that are critical to the quality of transmitted signal over a wireless network and a WSN sensor nodes arrangement. The successful simulation, mathematical modeling, and analysis used Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) as a calibrating parameter to enable design and optimization of a…
