Executive Summary :

This project aims to investigate utilization of Intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) for physical layer security (PLS) assisted secure communication systems. The key idea is to use the tuning capabilities of the IRS elements to improve the signal to interference ratio (SINR) at the intended receiver and reduce the SINR at the eavesdroppers. IRS can be used either as a relay or as a jammer for system's performance enhancement. Further, the system has to be studied under different multiple access schemes such as orthogonal multiple access and non-orthogonal multiple access.
