For forthcoming 5G networks, Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) is a very promising techniques. and in today's world, Line of Sight communication is becoming increasingly harder to achieve. Hence, technologies like Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) emerge. RIS-aided NOMA networks is a widely researched implementation of RIS. The environment where these networks are employed are non-homogeneous non-linear in nature. The effectiveness of these systems must thus be evaluated using generalized fading channels. In this paper, the performance of a RIS-aided NOMA is compared with conventional NOMA in alpha-mu and kappa-mu channels. This paper also shows that the well-known fading distribution are special cases of these generalized fading channels, both analytically and through simulation.
