Optimizing Mobility IoT Device Networks with Dynamic RIS in mMIMO-Cooperative NOMA 6G Systems

Abstract

Advanced technologies like reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO), and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) are crucial for the upcoming 6G communications landscape, particularly for IoT applications. This study uniquely explores the effects of RIS dynamics on the performance of mMIMO downlink (DL) cooperative NOMA systems in dense IoT environments. It introduces a novel methodology for modeling dynamic traffic distribution and integrating RIS, focusing on key performance metrics such as network capacity, spectral efficiency (SE), latency, and energy efficiency (EE). Various scenarios are evaluated, considering different distributions of IoT devices and signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). Using simulation software, the research analyzes performance under unstable channel conditions with varying device distances, speeds, and power locations, employing 256-QAM modulation and successive interference cancellation (SIC). The results demonstrate that dynamic RIS significantly enhances capacity, spectrum efficiency, latency, and EE, paving the way for optimized IoT network architecture in future wireless systems.
