An Opportunistic-Non Orthogonal Multiple Access based Cooperative Relaying system over Rician Fading Channels
Non-orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) has become a salient technology for
improving the spectral efficiency of the next generation 5G wireless
communication networks. In this paper, the achievable average rate of an
Opportunistic Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (O-NOMA) based Cooperative
Relaying System (CRS) is studied under Rician fading channels with Channel
State Information (CSI) available at the source terminal. Based on CSI, for
opportunistic transmission, the source immediately chooses either the direct
transmission or the cooperative NOMA transmission using the relay, which can
provide better achievable average rate performance than the existing
Conventional-NOMA (C-NOMA) based CRS with no CSI at the source node.
Furthermore, a mathematical expression is also derived for the achievable
average rate and the results are compared with C-NOMA based CRS with no CSI at
the transmitter end, over a range of increasing power allocation coefficients,
transmit Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs) and average channel powers. Numerical
results show that the CRS using O-NOMA with CSI achieves better spectral
efficiency in terms of the achievable average rate than the Conventional-NOMA
based CRS without CSI. To check the consistency of the derived analytical
results, Monte Carlo simulations are performed which verify that the results
are consistent and matched well with the simulation results.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1709.0822
