Fluid Antennas Assisted RIS-NOMA Communication Networks

This paper introduces a fluid antenna system (FAS) into reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) assisted non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) communication networks, where the non-orthogonal users are equipped with planar fluid antennas. Specifically, we formulate a sum rate maximization problem for FAS-RIS-NOMA networks, which jointly optimizes the fluid ports, the RIS deployment, and the phase shift matrix. To solve the resulting non-convex optimization problem involving highly coupled variables, an iterative algorithm based on alternating optimization is employed to decompose the original problem into three subproblems. Exhaustive search is employed for optimizing the fluid ports, particle swarm optimization is used for the RIS deployment, and semidefinite relaxation with successive convex approximation is adopted for optimizing the phase shift matrix. Finally, the simulation results show that: 1) compared with traditional antenna systems and orthogonal multiple access, the FAS-RIS-NOMA networks achieve higher system throughput under high signal-to-noise ratio conditions; and 2) by increasing the number of RIS elements and enlarging the FAS size, the sum rate of FAS-RIS-NOMA networks can be significantly enhanced.

Performance Analysis of Pinching Antenna Systems Enabled NOMA Communications

Pinching antenna systems (PASS) have the advantages in the perspective of flexible antenna reconfiguration, line-of-sight (LoS) creation, and scalability features. To highlight the ascendancy of PASS, we survey the integration of PASS into non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks. The locations of nodes are randomly distributed within a circular coverage region. The influencing factors of line-of-sight (LoS) and non-line-of-sight (NLoS) propagation links from PASS to non-orthogonal nodes are taken into considered. To characterize performance of PASS-NOMA, we deduce the blockage probability and ergodic data rates expressions of two nodes over LoS/NLoS fading channels. In light of these theoretical results, the infinite diversity gain are also analyzed with near node n under non-ideal successive interference cancellation (NISIC) and far node f over LoS links. The slopes of ergodic data rate for node n with NISIC and node f were equal to zeros. In addition, the PASS-NOMA system throughput are evaluated in different transmission modes. It is shown from the numerical results that: 1) The blockage outage behaviors of PASS-NOMA networks with LoS/NLoS conditions outperform that of PASS aided traditional orthogonal multiple access (OMA); 2)The employment of PASS enables the larger ergodic data rates relative to PASS-OMA networks; and 3) As the quantity of pinching antennas rises, the performance of PASS-NOMA networks are enhanced over LoS/NLoS propagation links.

Federated Learning in Active STARS-Aided Uplink Networks

Active simultaneously transmitting and reflecting surfaces (ASTARS) have attracted growing research interest due to its ability to alleviate multiplicative fading and reshape the electromagnetic environment across the entire space. In this paper, we utilise ASTARS to assist the federated learning (FL) uplink model transfer and further reduce the number of uploaded parameter counts through over-the-air (OTA) computing techniques. The impact of model aggregation errors on ASTARS-aided FL uplink networks is characterized. We derive an upper bound on the aggregation error of the OTA-FL model and quantify the training loss due to communication errors. Then, we define the performance of OTA-FL as a joint optimization problem that encompasses both the assignment of received beams and the phase shifting of ASTARS, aiming to achieve the maximum learning efficiency and high-quality signal transmission. Numerical results demonstrate that: i) The FL accuracy in ASTARS uplink networks are enhanced compared to that in state-of-the-art networks; ii) The ASTARS enabled FL system achieves the better learning accuracy using fewer active units than other baseline, especially when the dataset is more discrete; and iii) FL accuracy improves with higher amplification power, but excessive amplification makes thermal noise the dominant source of error.

Secrecy Performance Analysis of Multi-Functional RIS-Assisted NOMA Networks

Although reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) can improve the secrecy communication performance of wireless users, it still faces challenges such as limited coverage and double-fading effect. To address these issues, in this paper, we utilize a novel multi-functional RIS (MF-RIS) to enhance the secrecy performance of wireless users, and investigate the physical layer secrecy problem in non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks. Specifically, we derive the secrecy outage probability (SOP) and secrecy throughput expressions of users in MF-RIS-assisted NOMA networks with external and internal eavesdroppers. The asymptotic expressions for SOP and secrecy diversity order are also analyzed under high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions. Additionally, we examine the impact of receiver hardware limitations and error transmission-induced imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC) on the secrecy performance. Numerical results indicate that: i) under the same power budget, the secrecy performance achieved by MF-RIS significantly outperforms active RIS and simultaneously transmitting and reflecting RIS; ii) with increasing power budget, residual interference caused by imperfect SIC surpasses thermal noise as the primary factor affecting secrecy capacity; and iii) deploying additional elements at the MF-RIS brings significant secrecy enhancements for the external eavesdropping scenario, in contrast to the internal eavesdropping case.

Relay Satellite Assisted LEO Constellation NOMA Communication System

This paper proposes a relay satellite assisted low earth orbit (LEO) constellation non-orthogonal multiple access combined beamforming (R-NOMA-BF) communication system, where multiple antenna LEO satellites deliver information to ground non-orthogonal users. To measure the service quality, we formulate a resource allocation problem to minimize the second-order difference between the achievable capacity and user request traffic. Based on the above problem, joint optimization for LEO satellite-cell assignment factor, NOMA power and BF vector is taken into account. The optimization variables are analyzed with respect to feasibility and non-convexity. Additionally, we provide a pair of effective algorithms, i.e., doppler shift LEO satellite-cell assisted monotonic programming of NOMA with BF vector (D-mNOMA-BF) and ant colony pathfinding based NOMA exponential cone programming with BF vector (A-eNOMA-BF). Two compromise algorithms regarding the above are also presented. Numerical results show that: 1) D-mNOMA-BF and A-eNOMA-BF algorithms are superior to that of orthogonal multiple access based BF (OMA-BF) and polarization multiplexing schemes; 2) With the increasing number of antennas and single satellite power, R-NOMA-BF system is able to expand users satisfaction; and 3) By comparing various imperfect successive interference cancellation, the performance of A-mNOMA-BF algorithm exceeds D-mNOMA-BF.

This paper introduces double cascaded reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) to non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks over cascaded Rician fading and Nakagami-$m$ fading channels, where two kinds of passive RIS (PRIS) and active RIS (ARIS) are taken into consideration, called PRIS-ARIS-NOMA networks. Additionally, new closed-form and asymptotic expressions for outage probability and ergodic data rate of two non-orthogonal users are derived with the imperfect/perfect successive interference cancellation schemes. The scenario is modelled around two non-orthogonal users and focuses on analyzing their communication characteristics. Based on the approximate results, the diversity orders and ergodic data rate slopes of two users are obtained in the high signal-to-noise ratios. In addition, the system throughput of PRIS-ARIS-NOMA in delay-limited mode and delay-tolerant mode are discussed according to the outage probability and ergodic data rate. The simulation results verify the correctness of the formulas and yields the following insights: 1) The outage behaviors of PRIS-ARIS-NOMA outperforms than that of PRIS-ARIS assisted orthogonal multiple access (OMA); 2)Use of PRIS-ARIS-NOMA is better than use of PRIS-ARIS-OMA in small transmit power threshold scenarios 3) By increasing the number of reflecting elements of RISs, the PRIS-ARIS-NOMA is able to achieve the enhanced outage performance; and 4) The PRIS-ARIS-NOMA has the higher ergodic data rate and system throughput than double PRISs-NOMA.

Secrecy Performance Analysis of RIS Assisted Ambient Backscatter Communication Networks

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) and ambient backscatter communication (AmBC) have been envisioned as two promising technologies due to their high transmission reliability as well as energy-efficiency. This paper investigates the secrecy performance of RIS assisted AmBC networks. New closed-form and asymptotic expressions of secrecy outage probability for RIS-AmBC networks are derived by taking into account both imperfect successive interference cancellation (ipSIC) and perfect SIC (pSIC) cases. On top of these, the secrecy diversity order of legitimate user is obtained in high signal-to-noise ratio region, which equals \emph{zero} and is proportional to the number of RIS elements for ipSIC and pSIC, respectively. The secrecy throughput and energy efficiency are further surveyed to evaluate the secure effectiveness of RIS-AmBC networks. Numerical results are provided to verify the accuracy of theoretical analyses and manifest that: i) The secrecy outage behavior of RIS-AmBC networks exceeds that of conventional AmBC networks; ii) Due to the mutual interference between direct and backscattering links, the number of RIS elements has an optimal value to minimise the secrecy system outage probability; and iii) Secrecy throughput and energy efficiency are strongly influenced by the reflecting coefficient and eavesdropper's wiretapping ability.

Secure Communication of Active RIS Assisted NOMA Networks

As a revolutionary technology, reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has been deemed as an indispensable part of the 6th generation communications due to its inherent ability to regulate the wireless channels. However, passive RIS (PRIS) still suffers from some pressing issues, one of which is that the fading of the entire reflection link is proportional to the product of the distances from the base station to the PRIS and from the PRIS to the users, i.e., the productive attenuation. To tackle this problem, active RIS (ARIS) has been proposed to reconfigure the wireless propagation condition and alleviate the productive attenuation. In this paper, we investigate the physical layer security of the ARIS assisted non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks with the attendance of external and internal eavesdroppers. To be specific, the closed-form expressions of secrecy outage probability (SOP) and secrecy system throughput are derived by invoking both imperfect successive interference cancellation (ipSIC) and perfect SIC. The secrecy diversity orders of legitimate users are obtained at high signal-to-noise ratios. Numerical results are presented to verify the accuracy of the theoretical expressions and indicate that: i) The SOP of ARIS assisted NOMA networks exceeds that of PRIS-NOMA, ARIS/PRIS-assisted orthogonal multiple access (OMA); ii) Due to the balance between the thermal noise and residual interference, introducing excess reconfigurable elements at ARIS is not helpful to reduce the SOP; and iii) The secrecy throughput performance of ARIS-NOMA networks outperforms that of PRIS-NOMA and ARIS/PRIS-OMA networks.

The novel active simultaneously transmitting and reflecting surface (ASTARS) has recently received a lot of attention due to its capability to conquer the multiplicative fading loss and achieve full-space smart radio environments. This paper introduces the ASTARS to assist non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) communications, where the stochastic geometry theory is used to model the spatial positions of pairing users. We design the independent reflection/transmission phase-shift controllers of ASTARS to align the phases of cascaded channels at pairing users. We derive new closed-form and asymptotic expressions of the outage probability and ergodic data rate for ASTARS-NOMA networks in the presence of perfect/imperfect successive interference cancellation (pSIC). The diversity orders and multiplexing gains for ASTARS-NOMA are derived to provide more insights. Furthermore, the system throughputs of ASTARS-NOMA are investigated in both delay-tolerant and delay-limited transmission modes. The numerical results are presented and show that: 1) ASTARS-NOMA with pSIC outperforms ASTARS assisted-orthogonal multiple access (ASTARS-OMA) in terms of outage probability and ergodic data rate; 2) The outage probability of ASTARS-NOMA can be further reduced within a certain range by increasing the power amplification factors; 3) The system throughputs of ASTARS-NOMA are superior to that of ASTARS-OMA in both delay-limited and delay-tolerant transmission modes.

A Unified NOMA Framework in Beam-Hopping Satellite Communication Systems

This paper investigates the application of a unified non-orthogonal multiple access framework in beam hopping (U-NOMA-BH) based satellite communication systems. More specifically, the proposed U-NOMA-BH framework can be applied to code-domain NOMA based BH (CD-NOMA-BH) and power-domain NOMA based BH (PD-NOMA-BH) systems. To satisfy dynamic-uneven traffic demands, we formulate the optimization problem to minimize the square of discrete difference by jointly optimizing power allocation, carrier assignment and beam scheduling. The non-convexity of the objective function and the constraint condition is solved through Dinkelbach's transform and variable relaxation. As a further development, the closed-from and asymptotic expressions of outage probability are derived for CD/PD-NOMA-BH systems. Based on approximated results, the diversity orders of a pair of users are obtained in detail. In addition, the system throughput of U-NOMA-BH is discussed in delay-limited transmission mode. Numerical results verify that: i) The gap between traffic requests of CD/PD-NOMA-BH systems appears to be more closely compared with orthogonal multiple access based BH (OMA-BH); ii) The CD-NOMA-BH system is capable of providing the enhanced traffic request and capacity provision; and iii) The outage behaviors of CD/PD-NOMA-BH are better than that of OMA-BH.

Performance Analysis of Intelligent Reflecting Surface Assisted NOMA Networks

Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is a promising technology to enhance the coverage and performance of wireless networks. We consider the application of IRS to non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), where a base station transmits superposed signals to multiple users by the virtue of an IRS. The performance of an IRS-assisted NOMA networks with imperfect successive interference cancellation (ipSIC) and perfect successive interference cancellation (pSIC) is investigated by invoking 1-bit coding scheme. In particular, we derive new exact and asymptotic expressions for both outage probability and ergodic rate of the m-th user with ipSIC/pSIC. Based on analytical results, the diversity order of the m-th user with pSIC is in connection with the number of reflecting elements and channel ordering. The high signal-to-noise radio (SNR) slope of ergodic rate for the $m$-th user is obtained. The throughput and energy efficiency of non-orthogonal users for IRS-NOMA are discussed both in delay-limited and delay-tolerant transmission modes. Additionally, we derive new exact expressions of outage probability and ergodic rate for IRS-assisted orthogonal multiple access (IRS-OMA). Numerical results are presented to substantiate our analyses and demonstrate that: i) The outage behaviors of IRS-NOMA are superior to that of IRS-OMA and relaying schemes; ii) With increasing the number of reflecting elements, IRS-NOMA is capable of achieving enhanced outage performance; and iii) The M-th user has a larger ergodic rate compared to IRS-OMA and benchmarks. However, the ergodic performance of the $m$-th user exceeds relaying schemes in the low SNR regime.

This paper investigates the application of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) to satellite communication network over Shadowed-Rician fading channels. The impact of imperfect successive interference cancellation (ipSIC) on NOMA-based satellite network is taken into consideration from the perspective of practical scenarios.

The diversity order of zero and p are achieved by the p-th terrestrial user with ipSIC and perfect successive interference cancellation (pSIC), respectively. Finally, the presented simulation results show that: 1) On the condition of pSIC, the outage behaviors of NOMA-based satellite network are superior to that of orthogonal multiple access; 2) With the value of residual interference increasing, the outage performance of terrestrial users with ipSIC is becoming worse seriously; and 3) Infrequent light shadowing of Shadowed-Rician fading brings the better outage probability compared to frequent heavy and average shadowing.

Secure Communications in a Unified Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access Framework

This paper investigates the impact of physical layer secrecy on the performance of a unified non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) framework, where both external and internal eavesdropping scenarios are examined. The spatial locations of legitimate users (LUs) and eavesdroppers are modeled by invoking stochastic geometry. To characterize the security performance, new exact and asymptotic expressions of secrecy outage probability (SOP) are derived for both code-domain NOMA (CD-NOMA) and power-domain NOMA (PD-NOMA), in which imperfect successive interference cancellation (ipSIC) and perfect SIC (pSIC) are taken into account. For the external eavesdropping scenario, the secrecy diversity orders by a pair of LUs (the n-th user and m-th user) for CD/PD-NOMA are obtained. Analytical results make known that the diversity orders of the $n$-th user with ipSIC/pSIC for CD-NOMA and PD-NOMA are equal to zero/K and zero/one, respectively. The diversity orders of the m-th user are equal to K/one for CD/PD-NOMA. For the internal eavesdropping scenario, we examine the analysis of secrecy diversity order and observe that the m-th user to wiretap the n-th user with ipSIC/pSIC for CD-NOMA and PD-NOMA provide the diversity orders of zero/K and zero/one, respectively, which is consistent with external eavesdropping scenario. Numerical results are present to confirm the accuracy of the analytical results developed and show that: i) The secrecy outage behavior of the $n$-th user is superior to that of the m-th user; ii) By increasing the number of subcarriers, CD-NOMA is capable of achieving a larger secrecy diversity gain compared to PD-NOMA.
