Comparing the performance of the relay, especially decode-and-forward (DF), we analyze transmit power consumed by base station with single antenna through theorems and simulations. Based on multiple access technologies such as time sharing, we can confirm that RIS needs 65 or more elements to derive better performance than DF relay in a multiple access environment." }
