Abstract
This paper introduces an innovative framework integrating active reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) for uplink multiuser secure communication networks. The proposed scheme aims to simultaneously mitigate the threats of potential eavesdropping (PEs) and guarantee that legitimate users (LUs) satisfy ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC) requirements under finite blocklength (FBL) constraints. With a norm-bounded channel state information (CSI) uncertainty model, we formulate a sum rate maximization problem subject to FBL transmission constraints on reliability and latency, maximum tolerable information leakage to PEs, and system resource constraints. The problem is challenging due to infinite-dimensional constraints and strong variable coupling. To address these challenges, an alternating optimization (AO) algorithm is developed to jointly optimize LU power allocation, base station (BS) beamforming, and active RIS beamforming. Convergence and complexity analyses are provided. Simulations verify that active RIS with NOMA improves security, robustness, and efficiency while better meeting URLLC requirements.
