Comparison of Single Carrier and Multi Carrier Communication Systems over Large Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces

Large intelligent reflective surfaces are considered a promising technology for future wireless communication systems, as they can intelligently change the wireless environment to improve communication performance. In this study, the performance of single carrier and multi-carrier communication systems over large intelligent reflective surfaces is examined. In order to compare multi-carrier communication systems and single-carrier communication systems on large smart reflective surfaces, computer simulation studies are performed in a flat fading Rayleigh channel environment. Simulation results show that single-carrier communication systems are better than multicarrier communication systems.
