This work investigates a Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS)-assisted uplink system employing iterative detection and decoding (IDD) techniques. We analyze the impact of tuning system parameter tuning for several deployment configurations, including the number of users, access point (AP) antennas, and RIS elements on the IDD performance. Analytical results for both active and passive RIS in a single-input single-output (SISO) scenario demonstrate how deployment choices affect system performance. Numerical simulations confirm the robustness of the RIS-assisted IDD system to variations in these parameters, showing performance gains in certain configurations. Moreover, the findings indicate that the insights derived from SISO analysis extend to multiuser MIMO IDD systems.
