Abstract:<p>In intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted communications, the ultimate gain is achieved when the phases of the reflected signals are optimally selected to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). However, practical hurdles, particularly the imperfect phase estimation and quantization can reduce the potential gain. Therefore, this work aims at evaluating the impact of applying a quantized phase in the presence of phase estimation errors. Towards this goal, we derive the probability density func… Show more
