Study on the Coverage Extension of Millimeter Wave UAV BS Networks by Using IRS

This paper focuses on coordinating Intelligent Reflective Surfaces (IRS) and UAV networks to extend coverage while maintaining Line-of-Sight (LoS) conditions. We verify our methodology through numerical analysis in a realistically modeled 3D urban environment. Our results highlight remarkable enhancements in received SINR (Signal-to-Noise ratio) for multiple UEs with the integration of IRS. Therefore, our proposed method effectively enhances coverage in mmWave UAV networks.
