EP-4736334-A1 - METASURFACE DESIGN AND PLACEMENT

Abstract

A method of designing a passive metasurface system within an environment includes receiving a three-dimensional model of the environment including one or more transmitter locations and one or more target locations, and determining one or more metasurface designs and placements to achieve a given objective. The method may also include computing a received signal strength at the one or more target locations based on the three-dimensional model of the environment, computing the received signal strength at the one or more target locations based on the three-dimensional model of the environment and the one or more metasurface designs and placements, and/or calculating ray traces and /or using machine learning to determine the received signal strength at the one or more target locations on the three-dimensional model of the environment and the one or more metasurface designs and placements.
