الوصف: In order to bolster future wireless networks, there has been a great deal of interest in non-terrestrial networks, especially aerial platform stations including the high altitude platform station (HAPS) and uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV). These platforms can integrate advanced technologies such as reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). In this regard, this paper proposes a multi-layer network architecture to improve the performance of conventional HAPS super-macro base station (HAPS-SMBS)-assisted UAV. The architecture includes a HAPS-SMBS, UAVs equipped with active transmissive RIS, and ground Internet of things devices. We also consider multiple-input single-output (MISO) technology, by employing multiple antennas at the HAPS-SMBS and a single antenna at the Internet of things devices. Additionally, we consider NOMA as the multiple access technology as well as the existence of hardware impairments as a practical limitation. In particular, we compare the proposed system model with three different scenarios: HAPS-SMBS-assisted UAV that are equipped with active transmissive RIS and supported by single-input single-output system, HAPS-SMBS-assisted UAV that are equipped with amplify-and-forward relaying, and HAPS-SMBS-assisted UAV-equipped with passive transmissive RIS. Sum rate and energy efficiency are used as performance metrics, and the findings demonstrate that, in comparison to all benchmarks, the proposed system yields higher performance gain. Moreover, the hardware impairment limits the system performance at high transmit power levels.
