Abstract

Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) have drawn significant attention due to their capability of controlling the radio environment and improving the system performance. In this paper, we study the performance of an RIS-assisted single-input single-output system over Rayleigh fading channels. Differently from previous works that assume a constant reflection amplitude, we consider a model that accounts for the intertwinement between the amplitude and phase response, and derive closed-form expressions for the outage probability and ergodic capacity. Moreover, we obtain simplified expressions under the assumption of a large number of reflecting elements and provide tight upper and lower bounds for the ergodic capacity. Finally, the analytical results are verified by using Monte Carlo simulations.
