Performance analysis of nonorthogonal multiple access‐based underlay cognitive relay network

This paper considers cooperative non‐orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheme in an underlay cognitive radio (CR) network. A single‐cell downlink cooperative NOMA system has been considered for the secondary network, consisting of a base station (BS) and two secondary users, ie, a far user and a near user. The BS employs NOMA signaling to send messages for the two secondary users where the near user is enabled to act as a half‐duplex decode‐and‐forward (DF) relay for the far user. We derive exact expressions for the outage probability experienced by both the users and the outage probability of the secondary system assuming the links to experience independent, nonidentically distributed Rayleigh fading. Further, we analyze the ergodic rates of both the users and the ergodic sum rate of the secondary network. The maximum transmit power constraint of the secondary nodes and the tolerable interference power constraint at the primary receiver are considered for the analysis. Further, the interference caused by the primary transmitter (PT) on the secondary network is also considered for the analysis. The performance of the proposed CR NOMA network has been observed to be significantly better than a CR network that uses conventional orthogonal multiple access (OMA) scheme. The analytical results are validated by extensive simulation studies.

Exploiting secure performance in power domain–based multiple access: Impacts of relay link/direct link and secure analysis

A new design of secure nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) deployed together with cooperative relaying network is investigated in two modes including direct link and relay link. This paper proposes a mathematical analysis under secrecy considerations of a downlink two‐user NOMA systems. In particular, physical layer security of NOMA is studied in two specific metrics to achieve secure performance analysis such as the secrecy outage probability (SOP) and probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity (SPSC). It should be further explored the situation as the illegal user which is assumed to be eavesdropper at the information level, it attempts to decode the information intended to legal users while NOMA scheme is employed for legal users. The transmission techniques of NOMA equipping relaying architecture (dual‐hop transmission) have proposed due to improving the spectrum efficiency greatly compared with the traditional single‐hop networks. Finally, this study shows the advantages of NOMA over the traditional orthogonal multiple access in the studied problems analytically and numerical analysis is further provided. As important achievement, new exact and closed‐form expressions of the SOP and SPSC are derived, and they will be confirmed by simulation, ie, Monte Carlo simulations are performed to verify the proposed analytical results. Ultimately, the effects of some critical factors are studied on secure performance through these simulation results.

Outage of cooperative NOMA with an energy harvesting relay in an underlay cognitive radio network

This paper analyzes the performance of a cooperative nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in an underlay cognitive radio network aided by an energy harvesting relay. A secondary source transmits signal for two users, where a near user acts as a relay for the far user. The far user applies the selection combining (SC) approach on the signals which were relayed by the near user and received via direct path from the secondary source. We analytically derive the outage probability (OP) of each user separately, the overall system OP, and the throughput of the system. The impact of the power allocation coefficient of NOMA and energy harvesting parameters on outage is indicated. Further, the performance of the network is investigated with imperfection in successive interference cancellation (SIC), maximal ratio combining (MRC) at relay, and Nakagami-m fading. The results derived analytically are supported by simulation in MATLAB.     

Performance analysis of SWIPT-assisted adaptive NOMA/OMA system with hardware impairments and imperfect CSI

This paper investigates the effect of hardware impairments (HIs) and imperfect channel state information (ICSI) on a SWIPT-assisted adaptive nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA)/orthogonal multiple access (OMA) system over independent and nonidentical Rayleigh fading channels. In the NOMA mode, the energy-constrained near users act as a relay to improve the performance for the far users. The OMA transmission mode is adopted to avoid a complete outage when NOMA is infeasible. The best user selection scheme is considered to maximize the energy harvested and avoid error propagation. To characterize the performance of the proposed systems, closed-form and asymptotic expressions of the outage probability for both near and far users are studied. Moreover, exact and approximate expressions of the ergodic rate for near and far users are investigated. Simulation results are provided to verify our theoretical analysis and confirm the superiority of the proposed NOMA/OMA scheme in comparison with the conventional NOMA and OMA protocol with/without HIs and ICSI.     

Power allocation schemes for wireless powered NOMA systems with imperfect CSI: An application in multiple antenna–based relay

The simultaneous wireless information and power transfer or energy harvesting (EH) can be combined in nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) as green applications towards 5G. This paper investigates a new cooperative EH‐NOMA protocol, where the intermediate relay has not equipped the fixed power source and acts as a wireless powered relay to help signal transmission to representative weak user and strong user in NOMA. However, impacts of imperfect channel estimation contribute to outage system performance evaluations. We formulate the power resource assignment paradigms as two schemes, namely, fixed power allocation and dynamic power allocation, by considering imperfect channel state information (CSI). To solve this problem, we derive the closed‐form expressions of outage probability under imperfect CSI and the power allocation constraints. The expected numerical results related to the derived expressions for the outage probability are examined that numerical and the Monte Carlo simulations are strictly matching lines.     

Secrecy performance analysis on cooperative CR-NOMA network

In order to improve the secrecy performance of communication system and make efficient use of limited spectrum,overlay cognitive radio (OCR) technology was combined with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technology and the communication model was proposed,in which secondary network realized dynamic switching between assisting primary network communication and secondary network communication by sensing whether the primary user occupied the spectrum or not.Artificial noise (AN) aided technology was used in primary and secondary networks respectively to further improve the secrecy performance of the system.The secrecy performance of the system was studied by deducing the expressions of the primary and secondary network secrecy outage probability and secrecy throughput respectively.The simulation results show that the proposed cognitive cooperative NOMA communication scheme is beneficial in reducing secrecy outage probability and increasing secrecy throughput.Furthermore,the influence of AN power allocation factor on system performance is given.

Impact of fixed power allocation in wireless energy harvesting NOMA networks

The time switching‐based relaying (TSR) scheme is considered in energy harvesting protocol to implement with its advantage to nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system. In particular, decode‐and‐forward (DF) mode is proposed to employ in relay to forward signal to serve two far NOMA users. There are two main metrics including outage probability and ergodic rate, which are derived in exact expressions with respect to varying performance under impacts of energy harvesting fractions. To evaluate system performance, outage event and related capacity are illustrated, and we tailor performance gap among two NOMA users and such gap can be controlled by selecting of appropriate power allocation factors assigned for each user to obtain optimal performance. By examining node arrangement, target rates and varying transmit signal to noise ratio (SNR), it can be further achieved performance in several situations of such NOMA. As important result, the considered NOMA system outperforms than the conventional multiple access scheme, and this expected result is confirmed in numerical result and theoretical results. We also explore impacts of transmit power at source, noise power, the other key parameters of energy harvesting scheme to exhibit outage, and ergodic performance. Simulation results are presented to corroborate the proposed methodology.

Unified performance analysis with exact solutions for uplink non-orthogonal multiple access system-based cellular networks

This research presents a unified performance analysis methodology for the power domains of uplink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system consisting of a base station and an arbitrary number of users over Rayleigh fading channels. The study derives exact closed-form expressions for key performance metrics, such as outage probability (OP), symbol error rate (SER), outage capacity (OC), average channel capacity (AVC), and amount of fading, using binary phase shift keying (BPSK) and quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulations. The analysis encompasses all necessary channel parameters for evaluating the performance of an uplink NOMA system. The theoretical and simulation results completely supported one another. Furthermore, the results were compared with experiments in the literature using similar parameters. The proposed system was determined to increase performance by 40% for OP, 62% for SER, and 4.74 times for AVC at SNR = 20 dB. Finally, this study introduced exact solutions that can significantly accelerate NOMA systems analysis by exploiting the information in the existing database for analytical design processes in communications theory.

Performance analysis of user fair-based relay adaptive power allocation in physical-layer network coding cooperation

Network Coding (NC) is an effective technology to enhance the cooperative system spectral efficiency. However, since it is network-oriented, the existing performance metric of single-user outage can not comprehensively evaluate its gain and the impact to the entire network, which affect the user fairness. This paper proposes two novel user fair-based adaptive relay power allocation algorithms in single-relay NC cooperative multiple access channels. Firstly, common outage probability is employed as the performance metric, and to minimize it, a specific condition is deduced. On this basis, the instantaneous channel information-based adaptive relay power allocation scheme and the channel statistic information-based one with lower complexity are designed respectively, which make users?? signals superimposed at accurately calculated proportion to maintain fairness. Simulation results show that compared with other existing schemes, the proposed schemes can best maintain user fairness, and effectively improve the common outage performance of the whole system, at the expense of small spectral efficiency.

为了增强非正交多址接入技术(NOMA, non-orthogonal multiple access)应用场景的广泛性，本文给出了一个针对动态用户的上行NOMA系统。在传统的NOMA系统中，基站将用户到基站间的具体距离反馈给用户。由于在本文的场景中用户是动态分布的，基站实时地反馈具体距离势必会使系统开销过大。为了减少系统开销，本文假定基站只向用户反馈距离的统计特性，用户在之后的信息传输中根据距离的统计特性确定发射功率。理论分析了动态用户的中断性能并推导出了中断概率的表达式。仿真验证了理论推导的正确性，表明了当用户的分布区域内外边界值相差不大时，利用距离的统计特性和利用具体距离确定发射功率可以获得几乎相同的中断性能。

Outage analysis of SWIPT‐based full‐duplex cognitive NOMA downlink system over Nakagami‐m fading channels

Cognitive nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique allows multiple users to share the same time and same frequency resources to fulfil the reliability and spectral efficiency requirements of 5G communication standards. In this paper, simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT)–based full‐duplex cognitive NOMA downlink system is proposed. In this system, secondary source (SS) serves as a relay to far primary user as there is no direct link from the primary source. NOMA technique is used at SS to transmit information to far primary user and secondary user. The time switching mechanism is adopted at SS for harvesting energy and information decoding. Analytical closed‐form expressions are derived for the outage probabilities of both primary and secondary users. Outage analysis is carried out in Nakagami‐ fading environment in the presence of self‐interference at SS. In addition to that, the optimal harvesting time to maximize the instantaneous throughput of the far primary user is also derived. Numerical results are plotted to validate the derived expressions. It is inferred that the outage probability of the proposed system depends on the fading environment, harvesting parameters, and self‐interference at SS.
