Performance Analysis of NOMA-Based Land Mobile Satellite Networks

IEEE Access, 2018

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheme, which has the ability to superpose information in the power domain and serve multiple users on the same time/frequency resource, is regarded as an effective solution to increase transmit rate and fairness. In this paper, we introduce the NOMA scheme in a downlink land mobile satellite (LMS) network and present a comprehensive performance analysis for the considered system. Specifically, we first obtain the power allocation coefficients by maximizing the sum rate while meeting the predefined target rates of each NOMA user. Then, we derive the theoretical expressions for the ergodic capacity and the energy efficiency of the considered system. Moreover, the outage probability (OP) and average symbol error rate performances of NOMA users are derived analytically. To gain further insights, we derive the asymptotic OP at the high signal-to-noise ratio regime to characterize the diversity orders and coding gains of NOMA users. Finally, simulation results are provided to validate the theoretical analysis as well as the superiority of employing the NOMA scheme in the LMS system, and show the impact of key parameters, such as fading configurations and user selection strategy on the performance of NOMA users. INDEX TERMS Land mobile satellite network, non-orthogonal multiple access, ergodic capacity, energy efficiency, outage probability, average symbol error rate.

NOMA Application to Satellite Communication Networks for 5G: A Comprehensive Survey of Existing Studies

Journal of Communications, 2021

The 4th generation of communication networks (4G) seems limited and unable to satisfy the growing networks’ performances demands of new intended communication services such as the internet-of-things (IoTs). The 5th generation of communication networks (5G) has therefore been envisaged to fill the gap. The non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technology and the satellite communication have been identified as key enabling technologies for the achievement of 5G networks. There are many ongoing NOMA related works for 5G; however, the few existing reviews mostly discuss works that apply NOMA to terrestrial networks. This paper therefore, gives a comprehensive and up-to-date review of existing works applying NOMA to satellite communication networks. More precisely, it presents studies that have either designed or do performance analysis of NOMA-based multibeam satellitesystems (MBSSs) or integrated satellite-terrestrial networks (ISTNs). The surveys presented showed that the application ...

An optimized power allocation algorithm for cognitive radio NOMA communication

TELKOMNIKA, 2021

The primary objective of cognitive radio network is to effectively utilize the unused spectrum bands. In cognitive radio networks, spectrum sharing between primary and secondary users is accomplished using either underlay or interweave cognitive radio approach. Non orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is the proven technology in the present wireless developments, which allows the coexistence of multiple users in the same orthogonal block. The new paradigm cognitive radio NOMA (CR-NOMA) is one of the potential solutions to fulfill the demands of future wireless communication. This paper emphasizes on practical implementation of NOMA in cognitive radio networks to enhance the spectral efficiency. The goal is to increase the throughput of the secondary users satisfying the quality of service (QOS) requirements of primary users. To achieve this, we have presented the optimized power allocation strategy for underlay downlink scenario to support the simultaneous transmission of primary and secondary users. Furthermore, we have proposed QOS based power allocation scheme for CR-NOMA interweave model to support the coexistence of multiple secondary networks. Also, the changes adopted in implementing superposition coding (SC) and successive interference cancellation (SIC) for CR-NOMA are highlighted. Finally, simulation results validate the mathematical expressions that are derived for power allocation coefficient and outage probability.

Enhanced Integrated Satellite-Terrestrial NOMA with Cooperative Device-to-Device Communication

Telecom

The currently deployed terrestrial wireless networks experience difficulties while coping with the massive connectivity demands of coexisting users and devices. The addition of satellite segments has been proposed as a viable way of providing improved coverage and capacity, leading to the formation of integrated satellite-terrestrial networks. In such topologies, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) can further enhance the efficient use of wireless resources by simultaneously serving multiple users. In this paper, an integrated satellite-terrestrial NOMA network is studied where cooperation between ground users is allowed, following the device-to-device (D2D) paradigm. More specifically, the proposed satellite NOMA cooperative (SANOCO) D2D scheme optimally selects pairs of users, by considering the channel conditions of the satellite and the terrestrial D2D links. In SANOCO-D2D users are served through NOMA in the satellite link, and then, if the weak user fails to decode its signa...

On the Performance of Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA): Terrestrial vs. Aerial Networks

2020

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a promising multiple access technique for beyond fifth generation (B5G) cellular wireless networks, where several users can be served on a single time-frequency resource block, using the concepts of superposition coding at the transmitter and selfinterference cancellation (SIC) at the receiver. For terrestrial networks, the achievable performance gains of NOMA over traditional orthogonal multiple access (OMA) are well-known. However, the achievable performance of NOMA in aerial networks, compared to terrestrial networks, is not well-understood. In this paper, we provide a unified analytic framework to characterize the outage probabilities of users considering various network settings, such as i) uplink and downlink NOMA and OMA in aerial networks, and ii) uplink and downlink NOMA and OMA in terrestrial networks. In particular, we derive closed-form rate outage probability expressions for two users, considering line-of-sight (LOS) Rician fading channels. Numerical results validate the derived analytical expressions and demonstrate the difference of outage probabilities of users with OMA and NOMA transmissions. Numerical results unveil that the optimal UAV height increases with the increase in Rice-K factor, which implies strong line-of-sight (LOS) conditions. Index Terms-Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), terrestrial/aerial networks, SINR, outage probability.

State of the Art, Taxonomy, and Open Issues on Cognitive Radio Networks with NOMA

IEEE Wireless Communications

The explosive growth of mobile devices and the rapidly increasing demand of wideband wireless services enable an urgency for advanced communication techniques that can achieve high spectrum efficiency and satisfy the massive connectivity requirement. Cognitive radio (CR) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) techniques are envisioned to be adopted in the fifth generation wireless networks. Integrating NOMA techniques into CR networks has the tremendous potential to improve spectrum efficiency and increase the number of users. However, there are many technical challenges due to the severe interference caused by using non-orthogonal resources. Many efforts have been conducted to facilitate NOMA techniques into CR networks and investigate the effect of NOMA on them. This article aims to survey the latest research efforts made to enable NOMA techniques in CR networks. A taxonomy is devised to categorize and classify the literature based on operation paradigms, enabling techniques, objectives and optimization characteristic. Moreover, the key challenges are outlined to provide guidelines for the domain researchers and designers to realize the application of NOMA techniques into CR networks. Finally, we discuss the open research issues associated with NOMA in CR networks.

HST-NNC: A Novel Hybrid Satellite-Terrestrial Communication With NOMA and Network Coding Systems

IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society, 2021

Hybrid satellite-terrestrial networks (HSTNs) are considered to be a promising solution in dealing with coverage and mobility challenges encountered in 5 th generation (5G) networks that employ novel multiple access and connectivity schemes. In this respect, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) as well as network coding (NC) schemes have attracted significant attention due to their performance gains which not only improve the quality of wireless transmission but also effectively exploit the available spectrum. In this paper, a combined NOMA-NC (NNC) scheme is presented and integrated into an HSTN consisting of a low earth orbit (LEO) satellite belonging to an LEO constellation, a terrestrial base station (BS), and multiple terrestrial mobile terminals (MTs). The proposed scheme, termed HST-NNC (Hybrid satellite terrestrial-NNC), allows pairs of users to be simultaneously served through NOMA via the terrestrial BS link and the satellite link. Furthermore, the satellite employs random linear network coding (RLNC), within the general framework of systematic network coding (SNC), to improve the reception of the MTs when errors occur. The proposed HST-NNC, as compared to standalone NOMA, does not require additional channel state information (CSI) overheads because the satellite needs only the indices of user pairs to perform RLNC. Performance comparisons of HST-NNC with conventional orthogonal multiple access (OMA) and NOMA optimal user pairing schemes have shown that significant sum rate and BER gains can be obtained under various operating system parameters, such as varying number of MTs and different channel conditions.

Non-orthogonal multiple access protocol for overlay cognitive radio networks using spatial modulation and antenna selection

AEU - International Journal of Electronics and Communications, 2018

In this paper we propose a novel spectrum sharing protocol for overlay cognitive radio networks using nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA), spatial modulation (SM) and antenna selection (AS). The proposed protocol allows a secondary transmitter (ST) to transmit simultaneously to both a primary receiver (PR) and a secondary receiver (SR) using SM. The usage of NOMA and SM will increase the spectral efficiency for both PR and SR with reduced detection complexity than the case without NOMA in which the detectors are required to jointly detect both SM symbols at each receiver. The application of AS at ST with regards to PR provides higher quality transmission for PR without affecting the performance of SR. The performance of the proposed protocol is investigated by derivations of upper bounds on the average symbol error probabilities at PR and SR and by Monte Carlo simulations. Analytical and simulation results show that the proposed protocol offers efficient spectrum utilization over spectrum sharing protocols proposed recently that uses SMto convey the primary data to PR through the amplitude phase modulation technique and the secondary data to SR through the index of the active antenna.

Resource Allocation for Throughput Maximization in Cognitive Radio Network with NOMA

Computers, Materials & Continua, 2022

Spectrum resources are the precious and limited natural resources. In order to improve the utilization of spectrum resources and maximize the network throughput, this paper studies the resource allocation of the downlink cognitive radio network with non-orthogonal multiple access (CRN-NOMA). NOMA, as the key technology of the fifth-generation communication (5G), can effectively increase the capacity of 5G networks. The optimization problem proposed in this paper aims to maximize the number of secondary users (SUs) accessing the system and the total throughput in the CRN-NOMA. Under the constraints of total power, minimum rate, interference and SINR, CRN-NOMA throughput is maximized by allocating optimal transmission power. First, for the situation of multiple sub-users, an adaptive optimization method is proposed to reduce the complexity of the optimization solution. Secondly, for the optimization problem of nonlinear programming, a maximization throughput optimization algorithm based on Chebyshev and convex (MTCC) for CRN-NOMA is proposed, which converts multi-objective optimization problem into single-objective optimization problem to solve. At the same time, the convergence and time complexity of the algorithm are verified. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively improve the system throughput. In terms of interference and throughput, the performance of the sub-optimal solution is better than that of orthogonal-frequency-division-multiple-access (OFDMA). This paper provides important insights for the research and application of NOMA in future communications.
