Abstract

In this paper, intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted orbital angular momentum (OAM) with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) under imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC) and imperfect channel state information (CSI) is proposed. Importantly, the communication links of both cell-center user (CCU) and cell-edge user (CEU) are developed through IRS when they are in the non-line-of-sight (NLoS) of the transmitter. The aim of developing the proposed system is the accommodation of massive connectivity and enhancement of sum capacity as well as user capacities with the help of NOMA. The performance of the proposed IRS-OAM-NOMA system is evaluated and compared with the existing techniques such as IRS-assisted OAM with orthogonal multiple access (OMA) OMA-OAM-IRS and NOMA-IRS. The simulation results show that the proposed IRS-OAM-NOMA system outperforms the existing techniques in terms of user capacity and sum capacity under ideal conditions and with imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC) and imperfect channel state information (CSI).
