non-orthogonal multiple access, outage probability, AF I INTRODUCTION As one favorable technology in future fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been proposed to increase spectral efficiency [1] By permitting multiple users served in the same time, frequency or code domain, spectral efficiency and user fairness are improved in NOMA compared with Orthogonal Multiple Access (OMA) In NOMA, the transmitter superposes multiple users’ messages and the receivers deploys successive interference cancellation (SIC) to distinct the mixture signals in the power domain [2] In [3], the system performance regarding outage probability (OP) and ergodic capacity were studied in typical dual-hop NOMA transmission The fixed relaying and adaptive relaying schemes have been suggested to implement cooperative communication The full-duplex and relaying network are investigated in [4], [5] Recently, in relaying networks, two well- known cooperative relaying protocols are studied, namely Amplify Forward (AF) and decode forward (DF) [6, 7] By AF protocols, received signal from the source is amplified to forward to the destination, while the received signal in DF protocols need be first decoded, then reencoded to forward to the destination The author in [8] presented hardware impairment as important impact on system performance of such relaying scheme The relaying scheme as consideration can be deployed together with NOMA Formerly, superposition coding is proposed in wireless network and currently it is named as NOMA Such scheme improves the throughput of a broadcast/multicast system and efficient broadcasting is Manuscript received November 12, 2018; revised June 3, 2019 doi:10.12720/jcm.14.7.560-565 ©2019 Journal of Communications 560 achieved Additionally, the influence of user coupling on the performance in NOMA is investigated [9], in which both the fixed power distribution assisted NOMA (FNOMA) and cognitive radio assisted NOMA (CRNOMA) systems were considered in term of the outage performance Furthermore, the outage balancing among users was investigated by deploying user grouping and decoding order selection [10] In particular, the optimal decoding order and power distribution in closed-form formula for downlink NOMA were performed In [11], only feed back one bit of its channel state information (CSI) to a base station (BS) is considered in term of outage behavior of each NOMA user in downlink NOMA As advantage of such model as providing higher fairness for multiple users, it lead to NOMA with better performance as comparison with conventional opportunistic one-bit feedback In order to increase the specific data rate, the wireless powered communication networks (WPCN) scheme is deployed with NOMA uplink system in [12] By using the harvested energy in the first time slot, the strong users in NOMA can be forward signal to the weak users’ messages in the second time slot in case of using half-duplex (HD) scheme [13] The maximising the data rate in the strong user with guaranteeing the QoS of the weak user is considered as in [14] to solve tackle of SWIPT NOMA system related to half-duplex case Motivated by above analysis in [9], this paper presents a fixed power allocation scheme to show outage performance of separated users in the NOMA scheme in case of deployment of AF scheme II SYSTEM MODEL We consider a downlink cooperative NOMA scenario consisting of one base station denoted as BS, one relay R and two users (i.e., the nearby user D2 and distant user D1) The Amplify-and –Forward (AF) protocol is employed at each relay and only one relay is selected to assist BS conveying the information to the NOMA users in each time slot All wireless channels in the scenario considered are assumed to be independent non-selective block Rayleigh fading and are disturbed by additive white Gaussian noise with mean power The wireless channel h CN (0,1), g1 CN (0,1), g2 CN (0,1), denote the complex channel coefficient of BS-R, R-D1, R-D2, respectively In principle of NOMA, two users are Journal of Communications Vol 14, No 7, July 2019 classified into the nearby user and distant user by their quality of service (QoS) not sorted by their channel conditions In this case, we assume transmit power at relay and the BS is the same a2 h g

(1) III OUTAGE PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS where x1 , x2 are the normalized signal for D1, D2, In this section, we performs analysis on the performance of AF-NOMA scheme in terms of outage probability for several signal processing cases To make its convenient in analysis, this paper presents exact expressions for the outage probability In order to reduce the computation complexity, a tight lower bound for the outage probability is provided in the high-SNR regime to better understand the behavior of the network In general, an outage event occurs at the strong or the weak user when the user fails to decode its own signal In this section, we denote the threshold SNR as i , i 1, Based on the rate requirements of the users, we can choose different target rate values for R1 and R2, and we will demonstrate how the R1 and R2 affect the outage performance in the numerical result section For sake of brevity, we denote 1 22 R1 1, 22 R2 respectively It is assumed that E x12 E x22 , a1 , a2 are

the downlink AF-NOMA network under Rayleigh fading channel is evaluated via numerical examples to validate derived formula Moreover, the fixed power allocation is applied in order to further

probability of considered scheme versus SNR for a simulation setting R1 bits/s/Hz, R2 bits/s/Hz It can be seen that the exact analytical results and simulation results are matched very well In particular, it shown that as the system SNR increases, the outage probability decreases Another important observation is that the outage probability for User D1 of NOMA outperforms for User D2 Note that the results related to such outage performance resulted from power allocation for each user in NOMA In Fig 3, the outage probability versus system SNR is presented in different threshold SNR parameters In this case, our parameters are R1 , R2 1, 2 bits/s/Hz, (25) At high SNR, the outage probability at D2 will become 2 OPD 2, x exp a2 (26) To further evaluation of system, we consider the

for target rates Obviously Journal of Communications Vol 14, No 7, July 2019 in this case, the outage probability curves match exactly with the Monte Carlo simulation results One can observe that adjusting the target rates of NOMA users will affect the outage behaviors of considered scheme As the value of target rates increases, the outage performance will becomes worse It is worth noting that the setting of reasonable threshold SNR or target rate for NOMA users is prerequisite based on the specific application requirements of different scenarios Fig Throughput performance vs the transmit SNR V CONCLUSIONS This paper presented a novel downlink cooperative communication system that combines NOMA with AF relaying techniques in analytical model for outage analysis The proposed scheme in term of outage performance is considered under impacts of various parameters in cooperative NOMA systems Furthermore, impact of the transmit SNR of the source node in cooperative relaying NOMA on the throughput is performed via simulation and acceptable threshold can be shown to the system evaluation The superior performance of the proposed schemes was demonstrated by the numerical results As a future work, it will be interesting to investigate the user fairness problem only with relative locations of the users as in group More importantly, the outage probability of both strong and weak users in the system is derived and verified by comparing numerical simulations and analytical simulation Fig Outage probability vs the transmit SNR with different threshold SNR Fig plots system outage probability versus SNR in high SNR mode It can be observed that the analytical results meet with that in high SNR case In Fig 4, the outage performance comparison in high SNR regime, in which we setup R1 bits/s/Hz, R2 bits/s/Hz This illustration indicates that our derived expressions are tight result for evaluation in related NOMA networks APPENDIX (PROOF OF PROPOSITION 1) In (23), we can express
