The paper introduces an AD equipped with IRS that enhances the spectrum efficiency of 5G networks, maintaining a continuous wireless link with a moving node, particularly suitable for vehicles in urban environments. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
The excellent 3D mobility has made aerial drones (ADs) good candidates to improve the coverage of wireless communication networks. However, the effectiveness/efficiency of an AD (as an aerial active relay) is questionable for holding a continuous line-of-sight (LoS) link with a moving node (MN) in fifth-generation (5G) millimeter-wave (mmWave) wireless networks due to the signal propagations/blockage issues. Nevertheless, intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) technology has been introduced as a useful and energy-efficient method to improve the spectrum efficiency of 5G networks. In this paper, an AD equipped with IRS is proposed and autonomously navigated to maintain a continuous wireless link with an MN. The MN can be a vehicle moving through a dense urban environment. Simulation results corroborate the effectiveness of the method.
