“…The iteration process continues until the decrease in transmit power falls below a predefined threshold ǫ. The default parameter settings are β 0 = −60dB [12], σ 2 = −110dBm [12], ρ = −110dB [15] and ǫ = 10 −3 [13].…”

“…2. The transmit power at S is set to 20dBm [13]. As expected in Remark 1, when h min is small, IRSs could be deployed near S or D, otherwise they should be placed at the midpoint.…”

“…The coordinates of S, D and R are given by (0, 0, 0), (L, 0, 0) and (x U , y U , h U ), respectively. Hence the deterministic air-to-ground channel gain from S to R and that from R to D are, respectively, expressed by [12], [13]…”
This letter aims to provide a fundamental analytical comparison for the two major types of relaying methods: intelligent reflecting surfaces and full-duplex relays, particularly focusing on unmanned aerial vehicle communication scenarios. Both amplify-and-forward and decode-and-forward relaying schemes are included in the comparison. In addition, optimal 3D UAV deployment and minimum transmit power under the quality of service constraint are derived. Our numerical results show that IRSs of medium size exhibit comparable performance to AF relays, meanwhile outperforming DF relays under extremely large surface size and high data rates.
