Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) has recently emerged as a promising technology for 6G wireless systems, due to its capability to reconfigure the wireless propagation environment. In this paper, we investigate a Rate-Splitting Multiple Access (RSMA) for IRS-assisted downlink system, where the base station (BS) communicates with single-antenna users with the help of an IRS. RSMA relies on rate-splitting (RS) at the BS and successive interference cancellation (SIC) at the users and provides a generalized multiple access framework. We derive a new architecture called IRS-RS that leverages the interplay between RS and IRS. For performance analysis, we utilize an \textit{on-off control technique} to control the passive beamforming vector of the IRS-RS and derive the closed-form expressions for outage probability of cell-edge users and near users. Moreover, we also analyze the outage behavior of cell-edge users for a sufficiently large number of reflecting elements. Additionally, we also analyze the outage performance of cooperative RS based decode-and-forward (DF)-assisted framework called DF-RS. Through simulation results, it is shown that the proposed framework outperforms the corresponding DF-RS, RS without IRS and IRS-assisted conventional non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) schemes. Furthermore, the impact of various system's parameters such as the number of IRS reflecting elements and the number of users on the system performance is revealed.


Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) is an attractive air interface solution which is used in the 4 th generation wireless networks to achieve higher data rate. With a very large antenna array in Massive MIMO the capacity will increase drastically. In this paper channel capacity comparison for MIMO using known Channel State Information (CSI) and unknown CSI has been carried out for a higher number of antennas at transmitter and receiver side. It has shown that at lower SNR known CSI will give better performance compared to unknown CSI. At higher SNR known CSI and unknown CSI will provide similar results. Capacity comparison has been evaluated with help of MATLAB for known CSI and unknown CSI from a small number of antennas to hundred of antennas. Also, the performance evaluated with MATLAB simulation of linear detectors zero-forcing (ZF) and maximum ratio combining (MRC) method for large number of antennas at Base station (BS) which are serving a small number of single antenna users. Performance is evaluated in terms of Symbol Error Rate (SER) for ZF and MRC, and results show that ZF will outperform MRC. It has also been analyzed that increasing the antennas at BS for a small number of users will also help to reduce SER.

This paper investigates the reliability and security performance of the downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks over Nakagami-m fading channels, where the base station (BS) aims to communicate with multi-antenna NOMA users in the presence of a multi-antenna eavesdropper. To be more practical, a detrimental factor at both transmitter and receiver is considered, namely in-phase and quadrature-phase imbalance (IQI). To further improve the reliability and security of the considered networks, the selection combining (SC) algorithm at the receiver is taken into account. More specifically, the exact analytical expressions for the outage probability (OP) and the intercept probability (IP) are derived in closed-form. To obtain a better understanding of the influence for the IQI parameters on the system performance, the asymptotic behaviors for the outage probabilities (OPs) in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region are analyzed. Based on the asymptotic results, the diversity order of the considered system are obtained and discussed. The numerical results are presented to verify the validity of the theoretical analysis.

AbstractThis study examined how to improve system performance by equipping multiple antennae at a base station (BS) and all terminal users/mobile devices instead of a single antenna as in previous studies. Experimental investigations based on three NOMA down-link models involved (1) a single-input-single-output (SISO) scenario in which a single antenna was equipped at a BS and for all users, (2) a multi-input-single-output (MISO) scenario in which multiple transmitter antennae were equipped at a BS and a single receiver antenna for all users and (3) a multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) scenario in which multiple transmitter antennae were equipped at a BS and multiple receiver antenna for all users. This study investigated and compared the outage probability (OP) and system throughput assuming all users were over Rayleigh fading channels. The individual scenarios also each had an eavesdropper. Secure system performance of the individual scenarios was therefore also investigated. In order to detect data from superimposed signals, successive interference cancellation (SIC) was deployed for users, taking into account perfect, imperfect and fully imperfect SICs. The results of analysis of users in these three scenarios were obtained in an approximate closed form by using the Gaussian-Chebyshev quadrature method. However, the clearly and accurately presented results obtained using Monte Carlo simulations prove and verify that the MIMO-NOMA scenario equipped with multiple antennae significantly improved system performance.

Distributed antenna systems (DASs) are known to be effective to enhance coverage, spectral efficiency, and reliability in mobile communication systems. Because multiple antennas are physically separated in space, DASs benefit from both micro- and macro-diversity, which makes DASs significantly more robust compared to conventional co-located antenna systems in fading channels. However, when multiple antennas are not dispersed enough, there exists a certain degree of correlation in large-scale fading (shadowing), which degrades the macro-diversity gain. In practice, various measurements indicate a high degree of correlation of shadowing in DASs. However, most of the previous studies on DASs have not considered the correlated shadowing and its corresponding performance loss. Motivated by this limitation, we analyze the impact of the correlated shadowing to better evaluate DAS-based schemes with dual diversity transmitters. Assuming that shadowing correlation is an exponentially decreasing function of the inter-element separation, we derive the outage probability of DAS in composite Rayleigh-lognormal shadowing channels. Also, we present numerical and simulation results, which indicate there exists an optimal inter-separation between antennas that minimizes the outage rate to balance a trade-off between macro-diversity and path loss.

This study presents ambient backscatter communication (AmBC) network as a concept of "modulation in the air" that has drawn growing interest by both academia and industry recently. In particular, we investigate and analyze an AmBC system relying on cognitive radio, where the primary destination is equipped with multiple antennas and maximum ratio combining (MRC). A wireless powered relay is necessary to serve both primary and secondary destinations. Benefiting from the surrounding radio frequency (RF) source, the relay can support the backscattering signal. To facilitate the performance analysis of received nodes, this study presents exact closed-form expressions of the outage probability. For comparison, the outage and throughput performance of these nodes are considered in numerical simulation. Taking advantage of the AmBC technology, the impact of the backscatter ratio on system performance is carefully studied considering various other parameters. Simulation results demonstrate the exactness of the derived outage probabilities and show that the optimal throughput performance can be achieved at specific parameters.
