| contents | 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. |
