An Opportunistic Source Synthesis Method for Smart Electromagnetic Environments
Abstract
In the framework of the "Smart ElectroMagnetic Environment" (SEME), an innovative strategy leveraging Equivalence Source concepts is introduced for enhancing the performance of large-scale outdoor wireless communication systems. The proposed Opportunistic Sources Synthesis (OSS) approach is aimed at unconventionally synthesizing the primary source (i.e., the base transceiver station (BTS) antenna array), so that the complex scattering phenomena induced in the surrounding scatterers are profitably exploited to enhance the received power within user-defined regions of interest (RoIs). To yield a computationally feasible synthesis process, an innovative "Embedded-plus-Environment Patterns" (EPEPs) method is introduced. A set of representative numerical examples, concerned with realistic large-scale outdoor scenarios, is presented to assess the effectiveness and the efficiency of the proposed optimization-driven approach for a realistic SEME implementation.
