Therefore, to further enhance the coverage and signal quality of wireless communication systems, we investigate an active RIS-assisted rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA) system. Specifically, we investigate the effect of relevant parameters on system performance by deriving the analytical expressions for the outage probability (OP) of users employing hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) transmission strategy. The numerical results show that: 1) The reliability of the system is improved by combining HARQ transmission strategy. 2) The increase in the number of reconfigurable elements also significantly enhances the stability performance of the considered system.}, author = {Zheng, Y and Tang, J and Zheng, B and Wong, KK}, issn = {2162-2337} }
