Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface Enhanced NOMA Assisted Backscatter Communication System
arXiv:2012.10111
Abstract
A reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) enhanced non-orthogonal multiple access assisted backscatter communication (RIS-NOMABC) system is considered. A joint optimization problem over power reflection coefficients and phase shifts is formulated. To solve this non-convex problem, a low complexity algorithm is proposed by invoking the alternative optimization, successive convex approximation and manifold optimization algorithms. Numerical results corroborate that the proposed RIS-NOMABC system outperforms the conventional non-orthogonal multiple access assisted backscatter communication (NOMABC) system without RIS, and demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
