Abstract

This paper addresses the power allocation problem in a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)- aided non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) downlink system for short packet communications (SPC). A deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework based on the proximal policy optimization (PPO) algorithm is proposed to jointly optimize transmission power and power allocation coefficients, maximizing achievable data rates under power constraints. The DRL-based approach offers adaptability, low training overhead, and efficiency in dynamic environments.
