Dif ferent from traditional relay- ing system, RIS relies on programmable metasurf aces and mirrors to impro v e system performance of destinations.

Based on types of mod- ulation, we need to demonstrate other parameters which mak e inuence to system per - formance. W e sho w analytically that the number of reecting elem ents along with the transmit po wer at the source can impro v e system performance. Moreo v er , we check the e xactness of deri v ed e xpressions by matching Monte-Carlo with analyti cal simu- lations.

INTR ODUCTION T o implement ne xt-generation wireless communications, one can deplo y recongurable int elligent surf aces (RISs) to enable current systems with solid requirements such as lo w cost, high ener gy-ef cienc y and higher bandwidth ef cienc y . RISs e xhibit their appealing ability by adjusting the propag ation of the electro- magnetic w a v es [1]–[3]. By inte grating of passi v e and reecting units, the RIS-aided systems can adjust phases and amplitudes independently for the incident signals. Further , RIS pro vides a massi v e connections and e x- ploits a full-duple x scheme to reect signals to destinations. As main adv ances, the RIS sho ws benets when we compare it with the contemporary relaying systems. First, to a v oid po wer -hungry radio frequenc y process- ing, the RIS is deplo yed as a passi v e de vice and thus less ener gy is acquired to conduct the reection. Second, to introduce lo w-cost deplo yment, the RIS can be easily deplo yed on v arious en vironmental objects, for e x- ample b uilding f acades, street signs and adv ertisement boards [4]. Furthermore, in percepti v e of information transfer , the reection pattern is implemented at the RIS to impro v e system performance [5]–[7]. Specically , Rehman et al. [8] studied e xpressions of the outage probability and a v erage sum-rate by assuming that the RIS-aided system is optimized when the system can achie v e the highest instantaneous end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). RIS thus is deplo yed to impro v e the current systems in terms of in- terference cancellation, s ecure transmission, wireless co v erage, throughput enhancement , wireless information and po wer transfer . Importantly , P an et al. [9] proposed the system to allo w the angle of reection of each RIS J ournal homepage: http://ijeecs.iaescor e .com Evaluation Warning : The document was created with Spire.PDF for Python.

While the amplify-and-forw ard (AF) sho ws high comple xity in signal processing, and w orks in full-duple x with de graded performance due to self-interference, RIS only reects the recei v ed signals passi v ely which is prominent compared to the con- v entional relaying systems. As a result, RIS-aided systems enhance the system ener gy ef cienc y (EE) with high spectral ef cienc y (SE) without additional transmission po wer consumption. By combining both non- orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) [10]–[14] and RIS, the NOMA-RIS is proposed to impro v e the system performance in specic system metrics. Research e xplored RIS system by combining the phas e shifts at the RIS and the joint optimization of the beamformer at the base station, then system performance can be optimized [15], [16]. In [17]–[21], v arious system models are presented to demonstrate benets of RIS. F or e xample, in [17], Jiang and Shi considered the assistance of a multi-element RIS to boost the performance of o v er -the-air computation. Research presented secure transmission in the presence of ea v esdroppers [18]–[20]. The y considered the system that multi-antenna base station serv ers multiple single-antenna le gitimate users with the assistance of a multi-element RIS. Y an et al. [21] proposed that a multi-element RIS is required to assist the primary communication between a multi-antenna base station and a single-antenna user . Moti v ated by recent studies [18]–[21], this article aims to consider tw o main system metrics, i.e. er godic capacity and symbol error rate for point-to-point RIS-aided system. The main notations of this paper is sho wn as follo ws: E [ ] denotes e xpectation operation; f X ( ) and F X ( ) denote the probability density function (PDF) and the cumulati v e distrib ution function (CDF) of a random v ariable X ; G m,n p,q ( |• ) denotes the Meijer -G function of a single v ariable; Γ ( ) is the Gamma function; γ ( , ) is the lo wer incomplete Gamma function; Q ( ) is the Gaussian error function. 2. SYSTEM MODEL W e consider the do wnlink from the base station (BS) which is required to serv e a destination (D) with the help of RIS, sho wn in Figure 1. In particular , the point-to-point RIS-assisted wireless s ystem in this scenario is studied with single-antenna design for BS and D nodes, while K metasurf aces is required at RIS. W e represent the baseband equi v alent f ading channels between t he BS and the k th metasurf ace of the RIS, ¯ h k . In the second hop, the channel between the k th metasurf ace and node D is denoted as ¯ g k . W e assume characteristic of channels such as independent, identical and slo wing v arying.

360 ISSN: 2502-4752 In our study , we assume | v k | = 1 which is in line with real deplo yment [22]. It is assumed that the RIS has perfect kno wledge of the phase of ¯ h k , ¯ θ ¯ h k and the one ¯ g k , ¯ θ ¯ g k , and selects the optimal phase shifting, i.e. ¯ θ k = ¯ θ ¯ h k + ¯ θ ¯ g k . (2) T o easier manipulations, we denote A = K P k =1 ¯ h k | ¯ g k | as baseband equi v alent channel coef cient. Then, we can compute the recei v ed signal as (3). ¯ y = A x + ω . (3) T o further achie v e other system metrics, we need to obtain the instantaneous the signal-to-noi se-ratio (SNR) as (4). . ¯ γ = |A| 2 P S N 0 , (4) W e can re write (4) as: ¯ γ = |A| 2 ρ S , (5) in which ρ S = P S / N 0 represents for the BS in term of signal-to-noise radio (SNR). It is better e xamine important system performance at destination and the other system performance metrics can be determined by e xploiting such SNR. W e e xpect that high SNR leads to better system performance. 3. AN AL YSIS OF ERGODIC CAP A CITY Since er godic capacity plays an important role to e v aluate system performance, we deri v e a closed- form e xpression for the er godic capacity (EC) as (6). ¯ C = E [log (1 + ¯ γ )] = Z 0 ln (1 + x ) f ¯ γ ( x ) dx. (6) In this step, ln (1 + x ) can be formulated with the help of [23, Eq. (8.4.6.5)]: ln (1 + x ) = G 1 , 2 2 , 2 x 1 , 1 1 , 0 , (7) where G m,n p,q ( |• ) denotes the Meijer -G function of a single v ariable. So, we can e xpress the PDF and CDF of ¯ γ dene in (6) as [24, Eq. (24)], [24, Eq. (25)]: f ¯ γ ( x ) = x ( a 1)/2 2 b a +1 Γ ( a + 1) ρ ( a +1)/2 S exp 1 b r x ρ S , (8) and F ¯ γ ( x ) = 1 Γ ( a + 1) γ a + 1 , 1 b r x ρ S , (9) where a = K π 2 (16 π 2 ) 1 and b = 8 π π 2 , Γ ( ) is the Gamma function and γ ( , ) is the lo wer incomplete Gamma function. W ith the aid of [25, Eq. (8.350.1)], (9) can be claimed by (10). F ¯ γ ( x ) = 1 Γ ( a + 1) X l =0 ( 1) l x ( a + l +1)/2 l ! ( a + l + 1) ρ ( a + l +1)/2 S b a + l +1 . (10) Then, substituting (8) and (7) into (6), the er godic capacity can be e xpressed as (11).

W e treat the binary phase-shift k e ying (BPSK) modulation corresponding to α = 1 , β = 2 . If v alues are α = 2 , β = 1 , the y represent for quadrature phase shift k e ying (QPSK) and 4-quadrature amplitude modulation (4- QAM) in [27], Q ( ) is the Gaussian error function. F or the RIS-aided point-to-point system, t he Symbol Error Rate (SER) need be computed as [27]: S = α E n Q p β ¯ γ o = a 2 π Z 0 F ¯ γ x 2 b e x 2 2 dx t = x 2 / b = α β 2 2 π Z 0 e β 2 x x F ¯ γ ( t ) dt. (13) substituting (10) into (9), the SER of RIS-aided system can be e xpressed as (14). S = α β 2 2 π Z 0 e β 2 x x F ¯ γ ( t ) dt = X l =0 α β ( 1) l l !2 2 π Γ ( a + 1) ( a + l + 1) ρ ( a + l +1)/2 S b a + l +1 Z 0 e β 2 x x ( a + l )/2 dt. (14) W e then use the result from [25, Eq. (3.351.3)], the closed-form e xpression can be obtained to indicate the SER performance. In particular , the e xpression of S can be achie v ed as (15). S = X l =0 α ( 1) l 2 ( a + l )/2 β ( a l )/2 Γ (( a + l + 1)/2) l ! 2 π Γ ( a + 1) ( a + l + 1) ρ ( a + l +1)/2 S b a + l +1 . (15) Remark: As our observ ation, (15) depends on v alues of both α and β . Therefore, by adjusting the modulation type, we can obtain dif ferent performance. W e e xpect to compare the SER performance by comparing tw o types, i.e. BPSK and QPSK. Further , the SNR at the BS plays k e y role to indicate impro v ement of SER since (15) also contains ρ s .

362 ISSN: 2502-4752 5. NUMERICAL RESUL TS This section is conduced to v erify e xpressions obtained in the pre vious sections. Monte Carlo simu- lations are conducted to e xamine e xactness of mathematical e xpressions of performance analysis. W e focus on the RIS-assisted wireless system by e xamining these metrics such as er godic capacity and SER. Monte-Carlo results are performed by run of 10 7 independent channel realizations. Figure 2 sho ws the er godic capacity performance when we change the number of metasurf aces K . As our observ at ion, K = 100 sho ws the corresponding er godic capacity as the highest case among v e cases. It can be seen that the analytical results are matched well with Monte Carlo simulations in the whole range of SNR. W e also observ e that the er godic capacity increases by increasing SNR at the BS ρ s . This is because the end-to-end SNR depends on SNR at the BS, then the corresponding er godic capacity can be impro v ed at high SNR ρ s re gion. The performance g aps among v e cases are the same in whole range of ρ s . In Figure 3, the er godic capacity can be enhanced at higher num ber of metasurf aces K of the RIS. It can be seen clearly the er godic capacity only increase v ery f ast when K changes from 0 to 400. After this point, the er godic capacity just increase slightly . The er godic capacity performance of RIS-assisted s ystem for the destination is compared with set of SNR at the BS, i.e. ρ s = 20 , 30 , 40 , 50 . W e observ e that with the increase of ρ s and K , the er godic capacity performance of the considered system is impro v ed signicantly at lo w re gion of SNR. Therefore, the design of man y metasurf aces K is unnecessary . -20 -10 0 10 20 30 40 50 0 5 10 15 20 25 K = 100, 70, 40, 20, 10, 5 Figure 2.

Indonesian J Elec Eng & Comp Sci ISSN: 2502-4752 363 Figure 4 demonstrates SER performance for the case of BPSK modulation when we v ary the SNR at the BS ρ s from -40 dB to 10 dB. It can be seen clearly that SER can be impro v ed signicantly at the range of ρ s from -40 dB to -10 dB. The main reason is that the (15) depends on ρ s . Moreo v er , the best SER performance can be reported as K = 20 . W e can conclude that by designing more metasurf aces K at the RIS, we can achie v e good performance in term of SER. Similarly , Figure 5 sho ws similar performance for the case of QPSK modulation. -40 -30 -20 -10 0 10 10 -7 10 -6 10 -5 10 -4 10 -3 10 -2 10 -1 10 0 K = 5, 10, 15, 20 Figure 4.

CONCLUSION W e considered the wireless system by enabling RIS at the do wnlink. W e e xamine the system per - formance at tw o main system metrics, i.e. er godic capacity and SER. W e deri v ed cl o s ed-form e xpressions of er godic capacity and SER. Based on these deri v ations, we nd that reecting coef cient K of the RIS that maximizes the the system performance at reasonable v alue of transmit SNR at the base station. Simulations sho wed that the main parameters such as transmit SNR at the base station is found as main controlling param- eters compared with the number of metasurf aces. The numerical results indicate that the er godic capacity still has limitations although we increase the number of metasurf aces at RIS. REFERENCES [1] M. Di.
