To achieve this goal, we propose a specialized design strategy that seeks optimal tradeoff solutions to ensure adequate coverage in areas with weak base station signals. The optimal EMS layout is determined using a binary multiobjective optimization method.Representative numerical results are presented and discussed to showcase the features and potential of the EMS solution within a smart electromagnetic environment (SEME), demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed design method. publisher: ELEDIA Research Center - University of Trento date: 2024 type: Monograph type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/892/1/Developing_Modular_Reflective_EM_Skins_to_Boost_Wireless_Signals_in_Cities.pdf identifier: ROCCA, Paolo and DA Rù, Pietro and ANSELMI, Nicola and SALUCCI, Marco and OLIVERI, Giacomo and MASSA, Andrea (2024) Developing Modular Reflective EM Skins to Boost Wireless Signals in Cities.
