| contents | Active reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) employ amplification to overcome attenuation caused by the RIS cascaded link. In this paper, we analyze the effects of phase errors and channel aging in active simultaneously transmitting and reflecting (STAR) RIS-assisted cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. By leveraging a spatially correlated Rayleigh fading model, this paper derives minimum mean square error estimate-based channel estimates and formulates closed-form expressions for downlink spectral efficiency. This analytical framework enables a comprehensive evaluation of the effects of channel aging and uniformly distributed phase errors on system performance. The results demonstrate that active STAR-RISs can effectively compensate for the adverse effects of phase errors and channel aging. To counteract the impact of channel aging, we propose practical guidelines for resource-block-length design. Also, an increase in APs and STAR-RIS elements, along with a larger amplification factor, can alleviate performance degradation. |
