摘要

In this paper, we have investigated the outage probabilities (OPs) and the ergodic rates (ERs) of uplink reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted non-orthogonal and orthogonal multiple-access (NOMA and OMA) networks. Particularly, we have tackled a challenging scenario in which both user equipments (UEs) need assistance from the same RIS unit to communicate with the base station (BS). We have modeled all the UEs \(\rightarrow\) RIS and RIS \(\rightarrow\) BS links as Nakagami-m variates. To assess the performance of these networks, we have derived the necessary statistics for the effective channel gain of the reflected (UE \(\rightarrow\) RIS \(\rightarrow\) BS) link for the randomly phase-shifted UE, while adopting its already-existing counterpart statistics for the coherently phase-shifted one. On the basis of that, we have derived closed-form expressions for the OPs and the ERs for both RIS-assisted NOMA and OMA schemes. Finally, to get further insights on these results, we have elaborated on the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime.
