Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication, which operates at high frequencies, has gained extensive research interest due to its significantly wide spectrum and short wavelengths. However, mmWave communication suffers from the notable drawbacks as follows: i) The mmWave signals are sensitive to the blockage, which is caused by the weak diffraction ability of mmWave propagation. ii) The mmWave communication incorporating with reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) is efficient in overcoming the performance degradation caused by severe path loss. Nevertheless, the location of users and RISs as well as their densities impose a significant impact on the coverage and rate performance. Motivated by the challenges above and based on the stochastic geometry concept, we first construct distributed multi-RIS-aided mmWave communication system over Nakagami-m fading channel. Afterward, we analyze the end-to-end (E2E) signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) coverage and rate performance of the system. To improve the system performance in term of the E2E SINR coverage probability and achievable rate, we study the optimization of the phase-shifting control of the distributed RISs and optimize the E2E SINR coverage particularly when installing a large number of reflecting elements in RISs. To facilitate the study, we optimize the dynamic association criterion between the source and destination. Our simulation results demonstrate that the deployment of distributed RISs can significantly improve the E2E SINR coverage probability and achievable rate of the system compared to the selected benchmarks.
