Theoretical Analysis of Wireless Communication Systems Assisted by RIS with Power Line Communication

Abstract

This research presents an analysis of a wireless communication system model supported by Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) incorporating Power Line Communication (PLC). The transmission lines between nodes in the system are evaluated as PLC, considering Nakagami-m and Rayleigh channels. The cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the considered system is derived, and the statements obtained from this CDF are utilized in various analyses. The correctness of the proposed expressions is presented through simulations with different scenarios in the analysis results.

Keywords

• Power line communication
