Performance Analysis of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface-Assisted Wireless Communication Systems Under Co-Channel Interference

Abstract

Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) can intelligently control the wireless propagation environment by adjusting the signal phase and amplitude in real time, which is considered as one of the key technologies of 6G. Although RIS-assisted wireless communication systems greatly improve transmission efficiency under ideal conditions, there are various uncertainties in actual communication systems. In this paper, RIS-assisted communication system is investigated where the RIS cannot completely eliminate the phase error and the user location is randomly distributed with uncertainty. In addition, there are some interference sources around the user, which are simplified as co-channel interference (CCI). Then we study the performance of RIS-assisted communication system, and derive the closed-form expressions for the outage probability (OP) and channel capacity of the system. Furthermore, we analyze the effects of various parameters on the OP and channel capacity. Finally Monte Carlo simulation is carried out which verify the accuracy of the derivation.
