METHOD FOR ORIENTING REFLECTORS OF A TERAHERTZ COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for orienting a plurality of reflectors of a communications system in a zone, the communications system comprising an antenna and the plurality of reflectors, the antenna being operable in one or more frequencies in a frequency range from 0.1 THz to 10.0 THz, each reflector of the plurality of reflectors being spaced apart from each other and the antenna, the method including the steps of:
- digitally predicting a future motor vehicle density distribution in the zone based on a plurality of obtained past motor vehicle density distributions in the zone;
digitally computing an orientation of each reflector of the plurality of reflectors such that estimated power reception of electromagnetic waves radiated by the antenna is globally maximized for each motor vehicle of the future motor vehicle density distribution; and
orienting each reflector of the plurality of reflectors according to the digitally computed orientation.

Abstract
A method for orienting reflectors of a communications system in a zone, wherein the communications system includes an antenna and the reflectors. The antenna is operable in one or more frequencies in a frequency range from 0.1 THz to 10.0 THz, with each of the reflectors being spaced apart from each other and the antenna. The method includes the steps of digitally predicting a future motor vehicle density distribution in the zone based on obtained past motor vehicle density distributions in the zone; digitally computing an orientation of each reflector such that the estimated power reception of electromagnetic waves radiated by the antenna is globally maximized for each motor vehicle of the future motor vehicle density distribution; and orienting each reflector according to the digitally computed orientation.
