In this paper, an enhanced transmission scheme for cooperative relaying networks with non-orthogonal multiple access (ECRN-NOMA) is proposed. In the proposed scheme, two different kinds of transmission schemes are investigated which are the single signal transmission and the enhanced superposition transmission schemes. Particularly, for the single transmission scheme, a successive interference cancellation (SIC) is utilized to decode the received signal, sent by the relay, at the destination. On the other hand, for the enhanced superposition coded signal transmission scheme, a maximum ratio combining (MRC) is utilized at the destination to improve the ergodic sum-rate (SR) of the proposed system. Specifically, two power allocation (PA) strategies are comprehensively discussed to characterize the performance of our proposed scheme. The achievable average SR of the proposed systems are analyzed for independent Rayleigh fading channels, and also their asymptotic expressions are also provided. Qualitative numerical results corroborating our theoretical analysis show that the enhanced superposition coded signal transmission scheme applied to the proposed ECRN-NOMA improves the SR performance significantly in comparison to the others.
