Wireless Powered Cooperative Relaying using NOMA with Imperfect CSI
The impact of imperfect channel state (CSI) information in an energy
harvesting (EH) cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) network,
consisting of a source, two users, and an EH relay is investigated in this
paper. The relay is not equipped with a fixed power source and acts as a
wireless powered node to help signal transmission to the users. Closed-form
expressions for the outage probability of both users are derived under
imperfect CSI for two different power allocation strategies namely fixed and
dynamic power allocation. Monte Carlo simulations are used to numerically
evaluate the effect of imperfect CSI. These results confirm the theoretical
outage analysis and show that NOMA can outperform orthogonal multiple access
even with imperfect CSI.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures, accepted in IEEE GLOBECOM 2018 NOMA Worksho
Power beacon-assisted energy harvesting in a half-duplex communication network under co-channel interference over a Rayleigh fading environment: Energy efficiency and outage probability analysis
In this time, energy efficiency (EE), measured in bits per Watt, has been considered as an important emerging metric in energy-constrained wireless communication networks because of their energy shortage. In this paper, we investigate power beacon assisted (PB) energy harvesting (EH) in half-duplex (HD) communication network under co-channel Interferer over Rayleigh fading environment. In this work, we investigate the model system with the time switching (TS) protocol. Firstly, the exact and asymptotic form expressions of the outage probability (OP) are analyzed and derived. Then the system EE is investigated and the influence of the primary system parameters on the system performance. Finally, we verify the correctness of the analytical expressions using Monte Carlo simulation. Finally, we can state that the simulation and analytical results are the same.Web of Science1213art. no. 257
Relaying in the Internet of Things (IoT): A Survey
The deployment of relays between Internet of Things (IoT) end devices and gateways can improve link quality. In cellular-based IoT, relays have the potential to reduce base station overload. The energy expended in single-hop long-range communication can be reduced if relays listen to transmissions of end devices and forward these observations to gateways. However, incorporating relays into IoT networks faces some challenges. IoT end devices are designed primarily for uplink communication of small-sized observations toward the network; hence, opportunistically using end devices as relays needs a redesign of both the medium access control (MAC) layer protocol of such end devices and possible addition of new communication interfaces. Additionally, the wake-up time of IoT end devices needs to be synchronized with that of the relays. For cellular-based IoT, the possibility of using infrastructure relays exists, and noncellular IoT networks can leverage the presence of mobile devices for relaying, for example, in remote healthcare. However, the latter presents problems of incentivizing relay participation and managing the mobility of relays. Furthermore, although relays can increase the lifetime of IoT networks, deploying relays implies the need for additional batteries to power them. This can erode the energy efficiency gain that relays offer. Therefore, designing relay-assisted IoT networks that provide acceptable trade-offs is key, and this goes beyond adding an extra transmit RF chain to a relay-enabled IoT end device. There has been increasing research interest in IoT relaying, as demonstrated in the available literature. Works that consider these issues are surveyed in this paper to provide insight into the state of the art, provide design insights for network designers and motivate future research directions
Energy-efficient non-orthogonal multiple access for wireless communication system
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been recognized as a potential solution for enhancing the throughput of next-generation wireless communications. NOMA is a potential option for 5G networks due to its superiority in providing better spectrum efficiency (SE) compared to orthogonal multiple access (OMA). From the perspective of green communication, energy efficiency (EE) has become a new performance indicator. A systematic literature review is conducted to investigate the available energy efficient approach researchers have employed in NOMA. We identified 19 subcategories related to EE in NOMA out of 108 publications where 92 publications are from the IEEE website. To help the reader comprehend, a summary for each category is explained and elaborated in detail. From the literature review, it had been observed that NOMA can enhance the EE of wireless communication systems. At the end of this survey, future research particularly in machine learning algorithms such as reinforcement learning (RL) and deep reinforcement learning (DRL) for NOMA are also discussed
Outage Performance of RIS-aided Cooperative FD-SWIPT-NOMA in Nakagami-m Channels
In this work we {derive new} analytical expressions for the outage
probability (OP) of the downlink (DL) cooperative full-duplex (FD) simultaneous
wireless information power transfer (SWIPT) non-orthogonal multiple access
(NOMA) system aided by reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS). The
expressions for both the strongest and weakest NOMA users are devised assuming
Nakagami- channel fading. The derived analytical OP expressions are simple
to compute yet accurate for a wide range of RIS passive elements
configurations, energy harvesting (EH) coefficient, and residual
self-interference (SI) levels, being extensively validated by numerical
simulations, demonstrating the correctness and accuracy of the proposed
analytical method. The OP expressions reveal how paramount is to mitigate the
SI in the FD relay mode, since for reasonable values of residual SI coefficient
(dB), it is notable its detrimental effect over the
system performance; hence, new SI reduction methods for FD relays are useful
for low number of passive elements. Also, applying the proposed OP expressions
to predict the behaviour of the RIS-NOMA system equipped with a higher number
of passive elements () reveals a substantial reduction of the SI
effect, motivating the implementation of the cooperative FD communications.
Furthermore, we found the asymptotic behavior of outage probability of both
clustered users, as well as the equal diversity order for both users, given by
if the fraction of the harvest energy or
if , indicating the influence of channel parameters and number
of RIS elements in the performance.Comment: 23 pages, 8 figures, full pape
