Numerical results show that the optimal common stream power allocation depends on the transmit power, while inter-beam interference under frequency reuse introduces an outage floor absent under orthogonal allocation, providing practical design insights for HAPS-RSMA systems.
Abstract
This paper analyzes the outage performance of a high-altitude platform station (HAPS)-assisted downlink employing rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA). A realistic link budget accounting for free-space path loss, rain attenuation, and atmospheric absorption is combined with elevation-angle-dependent shadowed Rician fading. Closed-form outage probability and throughput expressions are derived for orthogonal frequency allocation and full frequency reuse, where the aggregate inter-beam interference is approximated by a moment-matched Gamma random variable, yielding a tractable finite-sum expression via its Laplace transform. The analytical expressions are validated through Monte Carlo simulations, showing close agreement. Numerical results show that the optimal common stream power allocation depends on the transmit power, while inter-beam interference under frequency reuse introduces an outage floor absent under orthogonal allocation, providing practical design insights for HAPS-RSMA systems
The coexistence of terrestrial networks (TNs) with high-altitude platform station (HAPS)-based non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) is a promising approach for extending 6G connectivity, but the resulting cross-network interference can significantly affect TN reliability. This paper investigates an rate-splitting multiple a...

In this paper, we investigate the downlink performance of multi-cell RSMA-enabled ISAC networks in which base stations (BSs), communication users, and sensing targets are spatially distributed according to independent Poisson point processes (PPPs). Each BS simultaneously serves multiple users using RSMA while exploiti...

This paper investigates the outage performance of an IRS-assisted cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system for ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) scenarios. The direct and cascaded channels are modeled using Rician fading distributions, and maximum ratio transmission (MRT) precoding...

This letter investigates a fluid antenna system (FAS)-assisted downlink rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA) scheme in the finite blocklength regime. A single traditional antenna system (TAS) base station serves FAS-equipped central and cell-edge users, each with $N$ reconfigurable ports. Spatial correlation among por...

A fluid antenna system (FAS) can improve both energy harvesting and data transmission in wireless powered communication (WPC) by exploiting spatial diversity with a single RF chain. In this letter, we study the outage probability of a FAS-assisted WPC network under the port selection criterion that maximizes the produc...
