Abstract:This paper proposes a new wireless enabling technology for future smart radio environments. The approach aims to enhance signal coverage within the shadow region(s) of wireless networks with the aid of so-called 'intelligent edges (IEs)'. IEs may be installed at the fringes of shadowing objects such as buildings, walls and other obstacles which obscure the optical signal path from a transmitter to receiver. We investigate two different approaches to illuminating the shadow region in wireless networks using IEs… Show more
