The paper provides a pathloss and channel model in a smart surface-assisted communication system built based on physical-optical techniques and Snell’s light reflection theorem. With mathematical expressions, it will provide researchers with a way to calculate, simulate, analyze, evaluate and calibrate communication channels to achieve optimal efficiency before deploying experimental fabrication. or for comparison with other information transfer enhancement technologies such as AF relay and amplifier, MIMO beamforming, and BackCom backscatter communication. |
