Abstract
Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted power-domain non-orthogonal multiple access (PD-NOMA) system has emerged as a revolutionary technology to enhance the spectrum efficiency for future wireless networks. This work introduces two novel RIS systems, namely, RIS partition-assisted (RISP) PD-NOMA (RISP-PD-NOMA) and RISP-Quadrature-NOMA (RISP-Q-NOMA), to maximize the diversity order and to improve the signal quality of all users by dedicating fixed RIS units to each user. The closed-form expressions of average sum-rate, outage probability, and diversity order are evaluated for both systems under the Rician fading channel for perfect and imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC) operations. Further, the performance of both RISP-PD-NOMA and RISP-Q-NOMA systems is compared with RIS partitioned PD-NOMA, RIS-assisted PD-NOMA, and PD-NOMA systems. It is noticed from the analysis that under perfect SIC, RISP-PD-NOMA outperforms all other systems. However, under imperfect SIC, RISP-Q-NOMA demonstrates superior performance to other systems due to the lesser number of SIC operations that reduce detection delay and decoding complexity. Furthermore, the analytical expression for bit error rate (BER) of RISP-PD-NOMA and RISP-Q-NOMA is derived, and then the closed-form expression of average-BER is evaluated. Numerical results demonstrate that RISP-Q-NOMA is superior to RISP-PD-NOMA.
