Abstract

This article investigates the outage performance of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS)-assisted hybrid time division multiple access (TDMA) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-based indoor flying networks (IFNs), taking into account the influence of dynamic blockages and imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC) conditions. We utilize a stochastic geometry framework to demonstrate that the RIS-assisted hybrid TDMA–NOMA-enabled IFN system improves outage performance over the traditional OMA scheme with RIS. The results reveal that achieving optimal performance with integration of hybrid TDMA–NOMA into IFNs requires precise adjustments to the range of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) deployment heights within a specific threshold.
