Performance Analysis for RIS-Assisted SWIPT-Enabled IoT Systems

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is a promising technology to improve the spectral and energy efficiency of Internet of Things (IoT) systems. In this paper, we investigate an RIS-assisted simultaneous wireless information and power transmission (SWIPT) system by utilizing stochastic geometry. Moreover, we consider not only the case of random phase shift, but also the case where the phase shift of the RIS are aligned to the
k
-th IoT device. We first derive the closed-form expressions of the uplink outage probability and the average uplink data size for the
k
-th IoT device under the Rayleigh channel. Then, we extend the performance analysis to the Rician fading channel and multi-antenna scenarios. Finally, extensive numerical results have been carried out to verify the effectiveness of our derived results.
