The simultaneously transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (STAR-RIS) is capable of providing full-space coverage of smart radio environments. This work investigates STAR-RIS aided downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) multi-cell networks, where the energy of incident signals at STAR-RISs is split into two portions for transmitting and reflecting. We first propose a fitting method to model the distribution of composite small-scale fading power as the tractable Gamma distribution. Then, a unified analytical framework based on stochastic geometry is provided to capture the random locations of RIS-RISs, base stations (BSs), and user equipments (UEs). Based on this framework, we derive the coverage probability and ergodic rate of both the typical UE and the connected UE. In particular, we obtain closed-form expressions of the coverage probability in interference-limited scenarios. We also deduce theoretical expressions in traditional RIS aided networks for comparison. The analytical results show that there exist optimal energy splitting coefficients of STAR-RISs to simultaneously maximize the system coverage and ergodic rate. The numerical results demonstrate that: 1) RISs enhance the system coverage and NOMA schemes help improve the rate performance; 2) in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regions, STAR-RISs outperform traditional RISs while in high SNR regions the conclusion is opposite.

This article focuses on the exploitation of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) in multi-user networks employing orthogonal multiple access (OMA) or non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), with an emphasis on investigating the interplay between NOMA and RIS. Depending on whether the RIS reflection coefficients can be adjusted only once or multiple times during one transmission, we distinguish between static and dynamic RIS configurations. In particular, the capacity region of RIS aided single-antenna NOMA networks is characterized and compared with the OMA rate region from an information-theoretic perspective, revealing that the dynamic RIS configuration is capacity-achieving. Then, the impact of the RIS deployment location on the performance of different multiple access schemes is investigated, which reveals that asymmetric and symmetric deployment strategies are preferable for NOMA and OMA, respectively. Furthermore, for RIS aided multiple-antenna NOMA networks, three novel joint active and passive beamformer designs are proposed based on both beamformer based and cluster based strategies. Finally, open research problems for RIS-NOMA networks are highlighted.
A novel reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) aided non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) downlink transmission framework is proposed. We formulate a long-term stochastic optimization problem that involves a joint optimization of NOMA user partiti oning and RIS phase shifting, aiming at maximizing the sum data rate of the mobile users (MUs) in NOMA downlink networks. To solve the challenging joint optimization problem, we invoke a modified object migration automation (MOMA) algorithm to partition the users into equal-size clusters. To optimize the RIS phase-shifting matrix, we propose a deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) algorithm to collaboratively control multiple reflecting elements (REs) of the RIS. Different from conventional training-then-testing processing, we consider a long-term self-adjusting learning model where the intelligent agent is capable of learning the optimal action for every given state through exploration and exploitation. Extensive numerical results demonstrate that: 1) The proposed RIS-aided NOMA downlink framework achieves an enhanced sum data rate compared with the conventional orthogonal multiple access (OMA) framework. 2) The proposed DDPG algorithm is capable of learning a dynamic resource allocation policy in a long-term manner. 3) The performance of the proposed RIS-aided NOMA framework can be improved by increasing the granularity of the RIS phase shifts. The numerical results also show that reducing the granularity of the RIS phase shifts and increasing the number of REs are two efficient methods to improve the sum data rate of the MUs.
Simultaneous transmitting and reflecting intelligent omini-surfaces (STAR-IOSs) are able to achieve full coverage smart radio environments. By splitting the energy or altering the active number of STAR-IOS elements, STAR-IOSs provide high flexibility of successive interference cancellation (SIC) orders for non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems. Based on the aforementioned advantages, this paper investigates a STAR-IOS-aided downlink NOMA network with randomly deployed users. We first propose three tractable channel models for different application scenarios, namely the central limit model, the curve fitting model, and the M-fold convolution model. More specifically, the central limit model fits the scenarios with large-size STAR-IOSs while the curve fitting model is extended to evaluate multi-cell networks. However, these two models cannot obtain accurate diversity orders. Hence, we figure out the M-fold convolution model to derive accurate diversity orders. We consider three protocols for STAR-IOSs, namely, the energy splitting (ES) protocol, the time switching (TS) protocol, and the mode switching (MS) protocol. Based on the ES protocol, we derive analytical outage probability expressions for the paired NOMA users by the central limit model and the curve fitting model. Based on three STAR-IOS protocols, we derive the diversity gains of NOMA users by the M-fold convolution model. The analytical results reveal that the diversity gain of NOMA users is equal to the active number of STAR-IOS elements. Numerical results indicate that 1) in high signal-to-noise ratio regions, the central limit model performs as an upper bound, while a lower bound is obtained by the curve fitting model; 2) the TS protocol has the best performance but requesting more time blocks than other protocols; 3) the ES protocol outperforms the MS protocol as the ES protocol has higher diversity gains.

This paper proposes a novel framework of resource allocation in intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) aided multi-cell non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks, where a sum-rate maximization problem is formulated. To address this challenging mix ed-integer non-linear problem, we decompose it into an optimization problem (P1) with continuous variables and a matching problem (P2) with integer variables. For the non-convex optimization problem (P1), iterative algorithms are proposed for allocating transmit power, designing reflection matrix, and determining decoding order by invoking relaxation methods such as convex upper bound substitution, successive convex approximation and semidefinite relaxation. For the combinational problem (P2), swap matching-based algorithms are proposed to achieve a two-sided exchange-stable state among users, BSs and subchannels. Numerical results are provided for demonstrating that the sum-rate of the NOMA networks is capable of being enhanced with the aid of the IRS.

Small cell enchantment is emerging as the key technique for wireless network evolution. One challenging problem for small cell enhancement is how to achieve high data rate with as-low-as-possible control and computation overheads. As a solution, we p ropose a low-complexity distributed optimization framework in this paper. Our solution includes two parts. One is a novel implicit information exchange mechanism that enables channel-aware opportunistic scheduling and resource allocation among links. The other is the sub-gradient based algorithm with a polynomial-time complexity. What is more, for large scale systems, we design an improved distributed algorithm based on insights obtained from the problem structure. This algorithm achieves a close-to-optimal performance with a much lower complexity. Our numerical evaluations validate the analytical results and show the advantage of our algorithms.
