Spatially-Distributed RISs vs Relay-Assisted Systems: A Fair Comparison
This paper aims to make a comparison between decode-and-forward (DF) relays and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) in the case where only one relay or RIS is selected based on the maximization of the signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR). Our study accounts for the spatial distribution of RISs and rel...
