Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is an emerging technology to enhance the spectral and energy efficiency of wireless communications cost-effectively. This letter considers a new multi-IRS aided network where cascaded line-of-sight (LoS) link established between base station (BS) remote user by leveraging multi-hop signal reflection selected IRSs. As compared conventional single-/double-hop ...

This paper is concerned with the analytical evaluation of two well known dynamic load balancing strategies, namely, shortest queue routing (SQR) and shortest expected delay routing (SEDR). We overcome the limitations of existing analysis methodologies, using a well known hybrid performance model that combines generalized stochastic Petri nets and product form queueing networks. Our methodology ...
