| Abstract | This paper proposes a solution to the problem of communication link interruption between 5G base stations and user devices in smart cities. The main benefit of this technology is its ability to enhance wireless signal transmission performance without using any additional energy. A well-designed Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS) system can effectively adjust the wireless signal propagation path in the 26-30 GHz band without consuming energy. This IRS reflects the incident 5G signal coming from a 5G base station located 15 m away from the IRS with incidence angles ?i=-15° and fi=-15° towards ?r=35° and fr=27° in the user reception direction. Simulation results have confirmed that the proposed IRS can significantly enhance the stability and reliability of 5G communication networks, which is of great value in constructing wireless communication infrastructure in smart cities. © 2024 IEEE. |
