Coverage Performance of NOMA in Wireless Caching Networks

Abstract

In order to keep a balance between the transmission delay of backhaul and the spectrum efficiency of access links, the coverage performance of wireless networks with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and content caching is studied. First, an explicit expression for the coverage probability of a typical user is presented by using stochastic geometry and order statistics. This expression can provide useful insights in order to improve the coverage performance of NOMA communications. Second, a closed-form expression for the average coverage probability is derived. Finally, simulation results are provided to validate the accuracy of the analytical framework and demonstrate the performance gain, due to NOMA.
