Joint Fixed Power Allocation and Partial Relay Selection Schemes for Cooperative NOMA

Abstract

<p>In the future wireless systems, non-orthogonal multiple-access (NOMA) with partial relay selection scheme is considered as developing research topic. In this paper, dual-hop relaying systems is deployed for NOMA, in which the signals are communicated with the assistance of decode-and-forward (DF) scheme. This paper presents exact expressions for outage probability over independent Rayleigh fading channels, and two partial relay selection schemes are provided. Using analytical result and MonteCarlo method, we introduce forwarding strategy selection for fixed user allocation and exactness of derived formula is checked. The presented simulations confirm the the advantage of such proposed NOMA, and the effectiveness of the proposed forwarding strategy.</p>
