Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) technique stands as a promising signal enhancement or signal cancellation technique for next generation networks. We design a novel passive beamforming weight at RISs in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) network for simultaneously serving paired users, where a signal cancellation based (SCB) design is employed. In order to implement the proposed SCB design, we first evaluate the minimal required number of RISs in both the diffuse scattering and anomalous reflector scenarios. Then, new channel statistics are derived for characterizing the effective channel gains. In order to evaluate the network's performance, we derive the closed-form expressions both for the outage probability (OP) and for the ergodic rate (ER). The diversity orders as well as the high-signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) slopes are derived for engineering …
