Abstract

Recent research on Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) aided communication and Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) technology shows enhanced spectral efficiency for 5 G and beyond wireless network systems. This paper evaluates the performance of a Device-to-Device (D2D) network where RIS is deployed in a suitable position and NOMA is employed to accommodate more number of users in the spectrum simultaneously. The D2D users exploit cellular network resources. Analytical models for outage, throughput, and energy-efficiency are developed considering spectrum sensing and a transmit power constraint. This work investigates the network performance in underlay, overlay, as well as hybrid modes through extensive simulations. The simulation model is designed based on the analytical models. Outage probability, network throughput, and energy efficiency are analysed to evaluate the D2D network performance. The simulation results shows incorporation of RIS and NOMA, network performance improves substantially. Increase in number of RIS elements also improves the network performance.
