2021 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC), 2021

This paper provides a performance evaluation of two-hop non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) architecture with energy harvesting (EH) cooperative agent and channel gains following the k-m fading, through analysis of ergodic capacity with respect to hardware impairments and channel conditions. The performance results of the distant user over two EH protocols, namely power splitting and time-switching relaying, are obtained and compared with simulation outcomes. The developed framework allows to evaluate the network under a range of external conditions and infers the importance of considering the hardware impairments.

Performance limits of wireless powered cooperative NOMA over generalized fading

Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies, 2021

The non‐orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique is a prospective solution to support the massive connectivity of an ever‐increasing number of wirelessly connected devices and address the spectrum scarcity issue. In this article, the outage probability and ergodic capacity of a two‐hop cooperative NOMA network with an energy‐limited relaying node are quantified over a generalizedstatistical model. The relay acts in an amplify‐and‐forward mode and performs energy harvesting (EH) using the time‐switching and power splitting relaying protocols. Moreover, the impact of hardware impairments (HIs) is incorporated into the performance evaluation. The obtained results prove the importance of HIs and allow one to evaluate the outage probability and ergodic capacity over various statistical models and system parameters. Finally, the results suggest that the optimal performance at a specific scenario depends on the combination of multiple factors, such as channel conditions, HI level, trans...

Cooperative Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access with Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power

In this paper, the application of simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) to non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks in which users are spatially randomly located is investigated. A new cooperative SWIPT NOMA protocol is proposed, in which near NOMA users that are close to the source act as energy harvesting relays to help far NOMA users. Since the locations of users have a significant impact on the performance, three user selection schemes based on the user distances from the base station are proposed. To characterize the performance of the proposed selection schemes, closed-form expressions for the outage probability and system throughput are derived. These analytical results demonstrate that the use of SWIPT will not jeopardize the diversity gain compared to the conventional NOMA. The proposed results confirm that the opportunistic use of node locations for user selection can achieve low outage probability and deliver superior throughput in comparison to the random selection scheme.

Outage probability for a multiuser NOMA-based network using energy harvesting relays

Nonlinear Engineering

This article evaluates the energy-harvesting capabilities of a multiuser non-orthogonal multiple access-based system, where energy harvesting relays utilise the power splitting relaying protocol to harvest energy and amplify-and-forward protocol to forward the signals to the connected users. The expressions for each user’s energy harvesting outage probability are calculated and compared to the same system model without energy harvesting. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the energy-harvesting relay nodes and the improved outage probability of each user.

A Hybrid Energy Harvesting Protocol for Cooperative NOMA: Error Performance Approach

Cornell University - arXiv, 2022

Cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (CNOMA) has recently been adapted with energy harvesting (EH) to increase energy efficiency and extend the lifetime of energy-constrained wireless networks. This paper proposes a hybrid EH protocol-assisted CNOMA, which is a combination of the two main existing EH protocols (power splitting (PS) and time switching (TS)). The end-to-end bit error rate (BER) expressions of users in the proposed scheme are obtained over Nakagami-m fading channels. The proposed hybrid EH (HEH) protocol is compared with the benchmark schemes (i.e., existing EH protocols and no EH). Based on the extensive simulations, we reveal that the analytical results match perfectly with simulations which proves the correctness of the derivations. Numerical results also show that the HEH-CNOMA outperforms the benchmarks significantly. In addition, we discuss the optimum value of EH factors to minimize the error probability in HEH-CNOMA and show that an optimum value can be obtained according to channel parameters.

Outage performance analysis of non-orthogonal multiple access systems with RF energy harvesting

International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (IJECE), 2021

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has drawn enormous attention from the research community as a promising technology for future wireless communications with increasing demands of capacity and throughput. Especially, in the light of fifth-generation (5G) communication where multiple internet-of-things (IoT) devices are connected, the application of NOMA to indoor wireless networks has become more interesting to study. In view of this, we investigate the NOMA technique in energy harvesting (EH) half-duplex (HD) decode-and-forward (DF) power-splitting relaying (PSR) networks over indoor scenarios which are characterized by log-normal fading channels. The system performance of such networks is evaluated in terms of outage probability (OP) and total throughput for delay-limited transmission mode whose expressions are derived herein. In general, we can see in details how different system parameters affect such networks thanks to the results from Monte Carlo simulations. For illustrating the accuracy of our analytical results, we plot them along with the theoretical ones for comparison.

Performance Analysis of Wireless Powered Uplink NOMA System with User Cooperation over Nakagami-m Fading Channels

Research Square (Research Square), 2023

In this paper, we develop a novel user cooperation assisted wireless powered communication network(UC-WPCN) based on non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) protocol. The proposed network model consists of a two uplink user terminals, defined as UE 1 , and UE 2 , respectively, and one hybrid access point (HAP). Here, HAP is helps to coordinate the energy beamforming and information gathering for the user terminals. In this system, we assume that the both UE's are energy constrained devices such that it first harvest energy from HAP in the downlink (DL) prior to the data transmission in the uplink (UL). In addition, we also assume that, the UE 1 is located much closer to HAP than UE 2 , hence, a full-duplex (FD) relaying operation with power domain multiplexing techniques is exploited at UE 1 , in order to facilitate UE 2 information transmission. A new form of mathematical expressions are derived, which then is used to evaluate the system performance such as outage probability, and sum throughput for the proposed system model. Further, an optimal power allocation scheme is introduce to minimize the system outage notably. Based on the numerical findings, it is clear that the proposed NOMA enabled UC-WPCN system enhances the cell edge user (i.e., UE 2) performance significantly and experiences a larger system throughput as compared to exist

Wireless Powered Cooperative Relaying Systems with Non-orthogonal Multiple Access

2020

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and the cooperative relaying systems are two of the promising techniques to meet requirements of future wireless networks such as high spectral efficiency and wide coverage area. On the other hand, the energy efficiency has also high priority in the applications with limited energy such as sensor networks and/or internet of things (IoTs). To this end, in this paper, we propose wireless powered cooperative relaying system with NOMA thereby increasing spectral and energy efficiency. We consider three different energy harvesting (EH) protocols (i.e., power sharing (PS), time sharing (TS) and ideal) and for all three EH protocols, we derive achievable rate for the considered system model. We validate the analysis with computer simulations and present the effectiveness of wireless powered system compared to the benchmark.
