Abstract
The technology described herein is directed towards increasing the secrecy capacity/performance of an intelligent reflective surface (IRS)-assisted communication system. Described is determining a location for placement of the IRS to achieve the maximum secrecy capacity with respect to a receiver in an environment. Gradient descent along with ray tracing, facilitates determination of the optimal placement, which can be used along with an alignment strategy of tile-allocation and phase-shift adjustment for the IRS to optimize the secrecy capacity within constraints. When implemented at the determined location, IRS-assisted communications result in significant improvement of the secrecy capacity performance for an (e.g., indoor) media communication network.
