contents This study presents a novel mechanical metallic reflector array to guide wireless signals to the point of interest, thereby enhancing received signal quality. Comprised of numerous individual units, this device, which acts as a linear Fresnel reflector (LFR), facilitates the reflection of incoming signals to a desired location. Leveraging geometric principles, we present a systematic approach for redirecting beams from an Access Point (AP) toward User Equipment (UE) positions. This methodology is geared towards optimizing beam allocation, thereby maximizing the number of beams directed towards the UE. Ray tracing simulations conducted for two 3D wireless communication scenarios demonstrate significant increases in path gains and received signal strengths (RSS) by at least 50dB with strategically positioned devices.
