Rate Region of RIS-Aided URLLC Broadcast Channels: Diagonal Versus Beyond Diagonal Globally Passive RIS

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: We analyze the finite-block-length rate region of wireless systems aided by reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), assuming the interference is treated as noise. We consider three nearly passive RIS architectures, including locally passive (LP) diagonal (D), globally passive (GP) D, and GP beyond diagonal (BD) RISs. In a GP RIS, the power constraint is applied globally to the whole surface, while some elements may amplify the incident signal locally. The considered RIS architectures provide substantial performance gains compared with systems operating without RIS. GP BD-RIS outperforms, at the price of increasing the complexity, LP and GP D-RIS as it enlarges the feasible set of allowed solutions. However, the gain provided by BD-RIS decreases with the number of RIS elements. Additionally, deploying RISs provides higher gains as the reliability/latency requirement becomes more stringent.
