TL;DR
This work analyzes a RIS-assisted full-duplex two-way space shift keying system under imperfect CSI, modeling channels with correlation and estimation errors and deploying RISs near each user to overcome blocked direct links. It develops a ML-based detector framework and derives closed-form ABEP expressions using Gaussian-Chebyshev quadrature, along with upper bounds, asymptotic ABEP, outage probability, and throughput, all validated by Monte Carlo simulations. The analysis leverages CLT to approximate the combined channel statistics and reveals how the number of RIS elements and residual self-interference influence performance, showing FD can outperform HD at high SNR when LI is small or RIS size is large. The results provide practical insights into robustness against CSI imperfections and quantify the trade-offs between pilot overhead, RIS scale, and reliability in RIS-assisted FD-SSK networks, with potential extensions to hybrid RIS and spectral-reliability optimization.
Abstract
Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted index modulation system schemes are considered a promising technology for sixth-generation (6G) wireless communication systems, which can enhance various system capabilities such as coverage and reliability. However, obtaining perfect channel state information (CSI) is challenging due to the lack of a radio frequency chain in RIS. In this paper, we investigate the RIS-assisted full-duplex (FD) two-way space shift keying (SSK) system under imperfect CSI, where the signal emissions are augmented by deploying RISs in the vicinity of two FD users. The maximum likelihood detector is utilized to recover the transmit antenna index. With this in mind, we derive closed-form average bit error probability (ABEP) expression based on the Gaussian-Chebyshev quadrature (GCQ) method and provide the upper bound and asymptotic ABEP expressions in the presence of channel estimation errors. To gain more insights, we also derive the outage probability and provide the throughput of the proposed scheme with imperfect CSI. The correctness of the analytical derivation results is confirmed via Monte Carlo simulations. It is demonstrated that increasing the number of elements of RIS can significantly improve the ABEP performance of the FD system over the half-duplex (HD) system. Furthermore, in the high SNR region, the ABEP performance of the FD system is better than that of the HD system.
