title = "Outage Performance Analysis of Hybrid Relay-Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface Networks",
abstract = "This paper investigates the wireless communications assisted by both decode-forward (DF)-relay and reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). For assessment of outage performance, the statistical characteristics of signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) are investigated. For RIS-aided systems with practical design constraints, e.g., total power and the number of reflecting elements, the deployment of a relay can improve the performance. The numerical results are presented to demonstrate the performance comparison of the hybrid relay-RIS (R-RIS) and RIS-only systems under various design parameters.",
