Secrecy Performance of a RIS-Assisted Wireless Network: A Comprehensive Analysis Under Outdated CSI
Published 2025“…This resilience indicates that the system can reduce channel estimation frequency to reconfigure the RIS, thus decreasing overall system overhead and complexity and improving energy efficiency. Moreover, increasing the number of REs can mitigate CSI aging effects where an SOP level of 3×10<sup>−5</sup> can be achieved with 140 REs at <i>ρ</i>=0.9 in the absence of a transmitter-receiver direct link. …”
