contents In this paper, we conduct an in-depth analysis of radio signal propagation characteristics within the urban environment of Poznan (Poland). The study specifically addresses the deployment of a 5th generation (5G NR - New Radio) Radio Access Network (RAN), which comprises 8 strategically positioned Base Stations (BSs). These base stations are configured with either Single Input Single Output (SISO) or Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna technologies, contingent upon the specific requirements of the network cells they serve. A key focus of our research is the integration of 15 reflecting arrays, known as Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs), which were installed throughout the study area. These RISs were deployed at various suspension heights to evaluate their impact on radio signal propagation and coverage. By exploring the influence of these RIS matrices, our research sheds light on their potential to significantly enhance signal quality, particularly in urban environments.
