Performance analysis of spatial modulation aided NOMA with full-duplex relay

A spatial modulation aided non-orthogonal multiple access with full-duplex relay (SM-NOMA-FDR) scheme is proposed for the coordinated direct and relay transmission in this paper. Specifically, the signal of the near user is mapped to an M-ary modulated symbol and the signal of the far user is mapped to an SM symbol. The base station first transmits signals to the near user and relay via SM-NOMA, and then the relay decodes and retransmits the signal of the far user. An SM-assisted FDR is used in this scheme to improve the spectral efficiency while reducing energy consumption and making full use of the antenna resources at the relay, since SM only activates one antenna in each transmission. We derive the ergodic capacity and bit error rate of the proposed scheme over independent Rayleigh fading channels. Numerical results validate the accuracy of the theoretical analysis and show the superior performance of the proposed SM-NOMA-FDR scheme

Dynamic Resource Management in CDRT Systems through Adaptive NOMA

This paper introduces a novel adaptive transmission scheme to amplify the prowess of coordinated direct and relay transmission (CDRT) systems rooted in non-orthogonal multiple access principles. Leveraging the maximum ratio transmission scheme, we seamlessly meet the prerequisites of CDRT while harnessing the potential of dynamic power allocation and directional antennas to elevate the system's operational efficiency. Through meticulous derivations, we unveil closed-form expressions depicting the exact effective sum throughput. Our simulation results adeptly validate the theoretical analysis and vividly showcase the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures, submitted to IEEE journal for revie

Coordinated direct and relay transmission with NOMA and network coding in Nakagami-m fading channel

Although the use of coordinated direct and relay transmission (CDRT) in non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) can extend the coverage, its duplicated transmission reduces the spectrum efficiency (SE) of NOMA. To improve the SE, we propose a spectrum-efficient scheme for NOMA-based CDRT over Nakagami-m fading channels. In this scheme, the base station (BS) connects with a cell-center user (CCU) directly while communicating with a cell-edge user (CEU) via a relay and the CCU. Then, the relay and the CCU use network coding to process and retransmit the signals sent by the BS first and the CEU later. Finally, the BS and the relay simultaneously broadcast downlink signals. We derive the closed-form expressions for the average SE, the user fairness index and the energy efficiency (EE) as well as the asymptotic average SE using both perfect and imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC). Simulations verify the correctness of our theoretical analysis and the superiority of the proposed scheme in SE and EE
