Secrecy Outage Probability Analysis for RIS-Assisted NOMA Systems
share
In this paper, the physical layer security (PLS) for a novel reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system in a multi-user scenario is investigated, where we consider the worst case that the eavesdropper also utilizes the advantage of the RISs. More specifically, we derive analytical results for the secrecy outage probability (SOP). From the numerical results, we observe that the use of RISs can improve the secrecy performance compared to traditional NOMA systems. However, for the worst case that the received signals at the eavesdropper comes from the RISs and source, increasing the number of intelligent elements on the RIS has a negative impact on the secrecy performance. At high SNRs, the system's SOP tends to a constant. Finally, the secrecy performance can be improved through the group selection.
