An Adaptive Finite Resolution Selection Scheme for RIS Assisted NOMA Networks by Shady M. Ibraheem, Mona Shokair, Mohamed E. Nasr, Nancy Alshaer

“…Monte Carlo simulations emphasize the accuracy of the analytical work and investigate that: 1) The proposed GADPS scheme is more flexible than conventional RIS-NOMA scheme; 2) By joint optimization of RIS selection and phase shifting, the proposed GADPS scheme is capable of achieving superior performance over GARPS and conventional RIS-NOMA schemes with a superior diversity gain; 3) The throughput performance of the proposed GADPS scheme outperforms GARPS, conventional RIS-NOMA and other relay-assisted NOMA schemes, whereas full-duplex (FD) relay selection NOMA schemes suffer from throughput floor values; 4) By increasing the number of reflecting elements of RIS, the proposed GADPS scheme achieves the enhanced average sum rate performance over benchmark schemes in all scenarios of relative distance difference between users and the selected RIS.…”
