Reflecting intelligent surfaces (RIS) has gained significant attention due to its high energy and spectral efficiency in next-generation wireless networks. By using low-cost passive reflecting elements, RIS can smartly reconfigure the signal propagation to extend the wireless communication coverage. This letter proposes a new optimization scheme in a multi-cell RIS-NOMA network to enhance the spectral efficiency under signal decoding errors. In particular, the power budget of the base station and the transmit power of NOMA users while the reflection matrix of RIS is simultaneously optimized in each cell. Due to objective function and quality of service constraints, the joint problem is formulated as non-convex, which is very complex and challenging to obtain the optimal global solution. To make the problem tractable, we first decouple it into two sub-problems and transform it by inner approximation and successive convex approximation techniques. Then we adopt a standard optimization method for power allocation and DC programming for the reflection matrix. Numerical results demonstrate the benefits of the proposed optimization scheme in the multi-cell RIS-NOMA network.
