In this paper, re-configurable intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) based on cell-free communications to serve multi-user (MU) are considered. This is to enhance the transmission for the next generation of wireless communications. This technique has witnessed lots of interest recently due to its ability to increase diversity gain, especially in the presence of obstacles between the users and the service providers. The IRS contains low-cost and large-scale reflection elements that work passively to guide the electromagnetic waves toward the direction of interest. These re-configurable meta-surface cells have reflection coefficients that can be adjusted by changing their phase shift to enhance the desired signal of interest and apply interference mitigation. Moreover, the IRS can be exploited to improve the overall sum rate throughput and reduce outage probability. The proposed system considers a transmission between multiple base stations (BSs) that equipped with multiple antennas and several single antenna users through an IRS in the presence and absence of a traditional path between them. Optimization techniques are employed to select the optimum beamforming precoders and to control the IRS's phase shifts by steering the incident signals toward the intended users. Furthermore, an off-the-shelf power allocation optimization approach, called Polyhedron, is exploited to enhance the overall spectral efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE) of the proposed system and reduce the required transmitted power. The proposed system with the suggested optimization approaches demonstrates significant improvement in the SE with a considerable reduction of the entire transmitted power by all BSs especially when increasing the number of antennas at the BSs along with using a higher number of IRS's reflected elements.
