description Intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) have emerged as a promising technology to enhance link reliability in a cost-effective manner, especially for line-of-sight (LOS) link blocking caused by obstacles. In this paper, we investigate an IRS-assisted single-cell photon-counting communication system in the presence of building shadows, where one IRS is deployed to assist the communication between a multi-antenna base station (BS) and multiple single-antenna users. Photon counting has been widely adopted in sixth-generation (6G) optical communications due to its exceptional detection capability for low-power optical signals. However, the correlation between signal and noise complicates analyses. To this end, we first derive the channel gain of the IRS-assisted MIMO system, followed by the derivation of the mean square error (MSE) of the system using probabilistic methods. Given the constraints of the transmit power and IRS configuration, we propose an optimization problem aimed at minimizing the MSE of the system. Next, we present an alternating optimization (AO) algorithm that transforms the original problem into two convex subproblems and analyze its convergence and complexity. Finally, numerical results demonstrate that the IRS-assisted scheme significantly reduces the MSE and bit error rate (BER) of the system, outperforming other baseline schemes.
