Abstract
This work considers optimizing the IRS elements' selection process to
reduce the average BER. In addition to BER reduction, reducing the
number of elements reduces the overhead associated with phase
information feedback to the IRS panel, and allows serving other users in
the network. Moreover, the phase error distribution is derived for the
case of LoS communications in closed-form.Feb 2023Published in IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems volume 59 issue 1 on pages 623-633. 10.1109/TAES.2022.3188590
