Recently, intelligent reflective surface (IRS)-aided systems are becoming a prospective technology in realizing for sixth generation (6G) wireless communication era because of extremely low power transmission, seamless coverage and their superiority. These network systems can allow many users and devices to connect to each other, extending the coverage. To empower IRS-aided systems, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) can be leveraged to work with IRS technique enabling further benefits such as mass connectivity, flexible resource allocation and improved performance. Increasing connected devices and expanding coverage means devices have the potential to interfere with each other. Recent studies focusing on researching and analyzing the performance of the IRS-supported NOMA network have not taken into account or not fully calculated the impact of interference on system performance. In this study, we first analyze the effect of co-channel interference (CCI) at users in downlink IRS-NOMA systems. In particular, the CCIs generated by the terminals deployed randomly in the coverage area affect the signal reception at the user in the downlink. In this network model, the channel conditions that follow the Rayleigh distribution and the CCI statistical model are independent and identically distributed. We analyze and evaluate network performance by extracting closed-form expressions of outage probability, ergodic capacity, total achievable rate then highlighting the adverse effects of CCI on IRS-NOMA. In addition, to improve the performance of the IRS-NOMA downlink, we present a framework of theorical analysis to look more insights of users’ performance, i.e. diversity order. Our analytical derivatives are verified through computer simulations based on Monte-Carlo and intuitive comparisons with the benchmarks.

The intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) has emerged as a promising solution to enhance the quality of radio transmission by allowing flexible control over the direction of reflection and phase shift of electromagnetic waves. In this study, we present a downlink wireless network considering non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and two IRSs to improve performance for a group of user equipment (UE) at the cell edge, when the UEs cannot reach out direct links from the base station (BS). We start by discussing the framework to design a wireless system relying on both IRS and NOMA, and then calculate the link channel statistics between the BS, IRS, and UEs with Rayleigh fading distributions using the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF). Based on these distributions, we derive closed form expressions for the outage probability (OP) for evaluating the performance of the user pair. Additionally, we compute the bit error rate (BER), the ergodic rates (ER) of the UE as functions of the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) using the Chebyshev-Gauss quadrature method, and hence the complete the overall evaluation of the system’s performance can be achieved. Finally, we verify the mathematical analysis through comparing with Monte-Carlo simulations and indicate that the number of IRS meta-surfaces elements as the main limiting factor to achieve better OP, ER and BER performance.

The research of Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) is extensively used to improve the capacity of networks beyond the fifth-generation. The recent merger of NOMA with ambient Backscatter Communication (BackCom), though opening new possibilities for massive connectivity, poses several challenges in dense wireless networks. One such challenge is the performance degradation of ambient BackCom in multi-cell NOMA networks under the effect of inter-cell interference. Driven by providing an efficient solution to the issue, this article proposes a new resource allocation framework that uses a duality theory approach. Specifically, the sum rate of the multi-cell network with backscatter tags and NOMA user equipment is maximized by formulating a joint optimization problem. To find the efficient base station transmit power and backscatter reflection coefficient in each cell, the original problem is first divided into two subproblems, and then the closed form solution is derived. A comparison with the Orthogonal Multiple Access (OMA) ambient BackCom and pure NOMA transmission has been provided. Simulation results of the proposed NOMA ambient BackCom indicate a significant improvement over the OMA ambient BackCom and pure NOMA in terms of sum-rate gains.

Abstract The evolution of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has raised many opportunities for massive connectivity with less latency in signal transmissions at great distances. We aim to integrate NOMA with a satellite communications network to evaluate system performance under the impacts of imperfect channel state information and co-channel interference from nearby systems. In our considered system, two users perform downlink communications under power-domain NOMA. We analyzed the performance of this system with two modes of shadowing effect: heavy shadowing and average shadowing. The detailed performance was analyzed in terms of the outage probability and ergodic capacity of the system. We derive closed-form expressions and performed a numerical analysis. We discover that the performance of two destinations depends on the strength of the transmit power at the satellite. However, floor outage occurs because the system depends on other parameters, such as satellite link modes, noise levels, and the number of interference sources. To verify the authenticity of the derived closed-form expressions, we also perform Monte-Carlo simulations.

To develop emerging transmission techniques for potential applications of Internet of Things (IoT), the system performance analysis of a cognitive radio (CR)-enabled ambient backscatter (AmBC) system will be studied in this paper with functionality of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). In the proposed scheme, a base station communicates with two destinations via a designated backscatter device. It is assumed that the relay node is fitted with two different interfaces and can simultaneously collect/decode and backscatter the received source signals. Such transmission mechanism benefits to design various applications in IoT as well as wireless systems with improved performance. To exhibit system performance metrics, the outage probability and the ergodic capacity of the recipient nodes are derived analytically. Furthermore, it is shown that employing AmBC NOMA together with CR for secondary communication can significantly improve overall network performance in terms of the achievable throughput in delay-limited and delay-tolerant modes and outage probability. Numerical results show that: 1) The proposed system can improve the spectrum efficiency by employing both CR and NOMA techniques; 2) Compared with the orthogonal multiple access (OMA)-aided AmBC systems, the considered CR AmBC system relying on NOMA can obtain better reliability in the whole range of SNR; 3) There are error floors for the outage probability in the high SNR regime due to required target rates; 4) There exists a trade-off between system performance of IoT devices and power allocation coefficients associated with NOMA; 5) We find energy efficiency factor as evident of further improvement in such system.

As an important partner of fifth generation (5G) communication, the internet of things (IoT) is widely used in many fields with its characteristics of massive terminals, intelligent processing, and remote control. In this paper, we analyze security performance for the cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks for IoT, where the multi-relay Wyner model with direct link between the base station and the eavesdropper is considered. In particular, secrecy outage probability (SOP) for two kinds of relay selection (RS) schemes (i.e., single-phase RS (SRS) and two-phase RS (TRS)) is developed in the form of closed solution. As a benchmark for comparison, the SOP for random RS (RRS) is also obtained. To gain more meaningful insights, approximate derivations of SOP under the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region are provided. Results of statistical simulation confirm the theoretical analysis and testify that: i) Compared with RRS scheme, SRS and TRS may improve secure performance because of obtaining smaller SOPs; ii) There exists secrecy performance floor for the SOP in strong SNR regime, which is dominated by NOMA protocol; iii) The security performance can be enhanced by augmenting the quantity of relays for SRS and TRS strategies. The purpose of this work is to provide theoretical basis for the analysis and design of anti-eavesdropping for NOMA systems in IoT.

This paper considers a two-user downlink transmission in reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided network over fading channels. Particularly, by employing user grouping and fixed power allocation scheme to enable non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) approach, RIS-aided network can significant benefit from NOMA. To highlight the advantages of RIS, we compare the system performance of NOMA-RIS and traditional orthogonal multiple access (OMA) based RIS. Main practical circumstances are carefully analyzed, such as, RIS with direct link, system without RIS, and imperfect phase shifts. More specifically, we consider a RIS-aided downlink network, where the base station communicates with a group of two users under assistance of RIS, which acts equivalently as relay. As key expectation, the RIS is efficiently designed to improve the performance of users. To evaluate the system performance, two main system performance metrics including outage probability and average capacity are studied by deriving new closed-form expressions. The goal is to find out which system parameters need to be adjusted to achieve the expected performance. The numerical results reveal that: i) the outage probability and average capacity of considered NOMA-RIS aided wireless system outperforms the conventional NOMA network over fading channels; ii) with different power allocation factors assigned to users, the performance gap among two users can be adjusted to guarantee the fairness characteristic; iii) the number of reflecting elements in RIS has significant impact on the system performance of the considered NOMA-RIS system, which shows advantage of both RIS and NOMA compared with conventional OMA system.

We study the secrecy transmission of uplink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with single antenna and multi-antenna users in presence of an eavesdropper. Two phases are required for communications during each time frame between the users and the base station in cellular networks. We study the case where an eavesdropper overhears the relay and direct links from the users to the base stations. In terms of the secure performance analysis, we focus on two main metrics including secrecy outage probability (SOP) and strictly positive secrecy capacity (SPSC) with the assumption that the eavesdropper is able to detect the signals. Analytical closed-form expressions for the SOP and SPSC are derived to evaluate the system secure performance achieved by the proposed schemes. Furthermore, the asymptotic analysis is presented to gain further insights. The analytical and numerical results indicate that the proposed schemes can realize better secrecy performance once we improve the channel condition and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the base station. Our results confirms that the secrecy performance gaps exist among the two users since different power allocation factors are assigned to these users.

We investigated the outage performance of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in satellite-terrestrial systems which contain hardware impairments. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was implemented to forward signals from a satellite to users on the ground. A two-user model was applied to achieve spectral efficiency. In practical, real-life scenarios, the UAV and ground users encounter issues with imperfect hardware. We examined the performance gap between two users experiencing practical problems such as hardware impairment and imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC). To implement a practical scenario, Shadow-Rician fading was adopted in the satellite links, and Rician fading was employed in the terrestrial links for ground users. In the main results, we derived the closed-form expression of the outage probability, and to evaluate the system performance of two NOMA users, we obtained the approximate expressions for high signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). Finally, we produced Monte-Carlo simulations to verify the analytical expressions and demonstrate the effect of the main system parameters, such as the number of transmit antennas on the satellite, transmit SNR, and level of hardware impairment on the system performance metric.

In the paper, we present a study on the performance analysis of a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) underlay cognitive hybrid satellite-terrestrial relaying network (CSTRN) and highlight the performance gaps between multiple users. The satellite source communicates with users by enabling cognitive radio scheme to forward signals to secondary destinations on the ground which belong to dedicated groups following the principle of NOMA. In this scenario, the secondary source acts a relay and employs Amplify and Forward (AF) mode to serve distant NOMA users under a given interference constraint. To characterize the transmission environment, the shadowed-Rician fading and Nakagami- m fading models are widely adopted to the relevant hybrid channels. To provide detailed examination of the system performance metrics, we aim to derive closed-form formulas for the outage probability of the secondary destinations in the presence of the primary interference power constraint imposed by the adjacent primary satellite network. Finally, our simulation results showed that a greater number of antennas, better quality of wireless channels and power allocation factors exhibit the main effects on system performance.

In this work, we design an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted Internet of Things (IoT) by enabling non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) approaches. We pay attention to studying the achievable rates for the ground users. A practical system model takes into account the presence of hardware impairment when Rayleigh and Rician channels are adopted for the IRS–NOMA–UAV system. Our main findings are presented to showcase the exact expressions for achievable rates, and then we derive their simple approximations for a more insightful performance evaluation. The validity of these approximations is demonstrated using extensive Monte Carlo simulations. We confirm the achievable rate improvement decided by main parameters such as the average signal to noise ratio at source, the position of IRS with respect to the source and destination and the number of IRS elements. As a suggestion for the deployment of a low-cost IoT system, the double-IRS model is a reliable approach to realizing the system as long as the hardware impairment level is controlled. The results show that the proposed scheme can greatly improve achievable rates, obtain optimal performance at one of two devices and exhibit a small performance gap compared with the other benchmark scheme.

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) is a significant technique for Internet of Things (IoT) networks. Recently, more interest has been focused on multiple access technique without orthogonal signals for wireless communication. Non-orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) scheme is proposed to allow users the access point in IoT network. In this paper, we propose the power beacon which is able to feed energy to power-constraint relay node to further support transmission from the source to destinations in IoT networks. In this article, a NOMA system is benefited by with WPT and antenna selection technique. The system improvement can be achieved through the exact closed-form expressions of outage probability (OP). The performance gap among two users is evaluated using model of the Rayleigh fading channels. Furthermore, we compare NOMA with traditional scheme to highlight advantage of such IoT system.

This paper investigates non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), cooperative relaying, and energy harvesting to support device-to-device (D2D) transmission. In particular, we deploy multiple relay nodes and a cell-center D2D device which can operate in full-duplex (FD) or half-duplex (HD) mode to communicate with a cell-edge D2D device. In this context, there are two possible signal transmission paths from the base station (BS) to the far D2D user either through multiple decode-and-forward (DF) relay nodes or through a near D2D user. Consequently, we propose three schemes to support D2D-NOMA systems, namely non-energy harvesting relaying (Non-EHR), energy harvesting relaying (EHR) and quantize-map-forward relaying (QMFR) schemes. For each of the proposed schemes, closed-form expressions of the outage probabilities of both D2D users are derived. Extensive Monte-Carlo simulation results are provided to validate the derived analytical expressions. The study results show that the proposed schemes can improve the outage performance compared to conventional orthogonal multiple access (OMA) schemes. Moreover, it is shown that the Non-EHR scheme achieves the best outage performance among the three considered schemes.

In this paper, we investigate the reliability and security of cooperative dual-hop non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) for internet-of-thing (IoT) networks, in which the transceivers consider a detrimental factor of in-phase and quadrature-phase imbalance (IQI). The communication between the source and destination is accomplished through a decode-and-forward (DF) relay in the presence of an eavesdropper. In order to characterize the performance of the considered system, exact analytical expressions for the outage probability (OP) and intercept probability (IP) are derived in closed-form. Furthermore, to better understanding the performance of the considered system, we further derive the asymptotic expressions of OP in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime and IP at the high main eavesdropping ratio (MER) region. A large number of analysis and Monte Carlo simulation results show that the existence of IQI usually increases the corresponding OP and reduces the IP, which means that reduces the reliability of the system and improves the security. In addition, the provided results provide useful insights into the trade-off between reliability and security of secure cooperative communication systems.

This article studies the wireless systems by implementing the full-duplex (FD) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) relay to allow two nearby base stations joint communicate to distant users. The non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) assisted networks and design of multiple-antenna users are considered in order to improve the users' performance. To overcome obstacles in transmission environment, such a model of the uplink (UL) and the downlink (DL) relying on UAV relay is suitable to forward signals to far users. Moreover, practical scenario of imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC) at each receiver is considered as main reason of degraded performance. To evaluate specific performance metric, we derive the closed-form expressions of outage probability. In addition, the throughput in delay-limited transmission mode of UAV relay assisted UL/DL NOMA system is also considered thoroughly. The derivations and results showed that the higher number of antennas at users could effectively improve the system throughput and reduce the outage probability. The numerical simulation results further indicate the effectiveness of the proposed system and the correctness of theoretical analysis.

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications are regarded as the key technology in future vehicular networks. V2X features promising benefits in providing efficient and reliable massive connections, improving traffic efficiency and safety, as well as supporting in-vehicle entertainment and other functions. Recently, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is further known as a promising solution in the fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication systems. Such NOMA has drawn much attention because of its ability to significantly improve the network throughput and lower the accessing and transmission latency to meet the quality-of-service (QoS) requirements of many 5G-enabled applications. In this respect, this paper first considers a full-duplex (FD) transmission mode together with the Roadside Unit (RSU) selection scheme in a NOMA-V2X networks since relay selection based NOMA network is introduced as technique to increase the ergodic capacity. In the considered NOMA-V2X systems, the vehicles enable device-to-device (D2D) transmission mode to permit two nearby vehicles communicate at close distances. To further robust performance, the vehicle requires relaying transmission in group of RSUs which tight connected with a cellular network. Secondly, we compare ergodic rate performance of two vehicles in specific group. Finally, we evaluate the ergodic performance by deriving the exact and closed-form expressions of ergodic rate in various scenarios. The results show that ergodic rate improvement can be achieved by increasing the number of RSUs and limiting impact of self-interference due to the FD mode.

The future of wireless communications looks exciting with the potential new use cases and challenging requirements of future 6th generation (6G) wireless networks. Since the traditional wireless communications, the propagation medium has been perceived as a randomly behaving entity between the transmitter and the receiver, which degrades the quality of the received signal due to the uncontrollable interactions of the transmitted radio waves with the surrounding objects. The recent advent of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) in wireless communications enables, on the other hand, network operators to control the radio waves (the scattering, reflection, and refraction characteristics) to eliminate the negative effects of natural wireless propagation. Recent results have revealed that non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) benefits from RIS mechanism which can effectively provide effective transmissions. Motivated by the potential of these emerging technologies, we study the impact of hardware impairment in RIS-aided NOMA system in term of performance metrics. We then derive analytical expressions of outage probability and throughput as main performance metrics. Simulations are conducted to validate the analytical expressions. We find that the number of meta-surfaces in RIS, transmit power at the base station, power allocation factors play important role to demonstrate improvement in system performance of RIS relying on NOMA compared with orthogonal multiple access (OMA). Numerical results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed RIS-aided NOMA transmission strategies.

In this study, the performance of a secondary network in cognitive radio (CR) is studied in the context of vehicle-to-everything (V2X). The non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is effectively applied in this new system model, namely CR-assisted NOMA-V2X, and it is beneficial to serve group of vehicles. In our proposed system, two schemes related to vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) transmissions are further considered to enhance performance of the vehicle that needs higher quality of service (QoS). However, the degradation performance can be predicted by evaluating downlink under impacts from interference from the primary network, imperfect channel state information (CSI) and imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC). The outage performance gap among two vehicles exists since different power allocation factors were assigned to them. To validate the system performance, the outage probability is first derived in exact and approximate forms and then the throughput can be further achieved. The optimal throughput can be obtained by numerical simulations. Simulation results are provided to verify the correctness of the derived expressions and it exhibits advantages of the proposed CR-assisted NOMA-V2X system in terms of outage probability and the throughput.

To improve the utilization of spectrum and system capacity, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is considered as a promising multiple access method for emerging communication technologies. Its advantageous benefits are implemented in two-way wireless networks. Power allocation factors assigned to multiple users play a key role in the successful deployment of fairness balance in NOMA. This paper considers fixed power allocation, and performance degradation is predicted in worse situation in which non-optimal power scheme and the imperfect channel state information (CSI) happen. More challenging issue happens in this system, and this paper addresses the situation of NOMA supporting multi-pair of users, in which group of users can communicate to other users to achieve acceptable throughout in two kinds of mode, i.e. delay-limited mode and delay-tolerant mode. Two performance metrics have been considered, namely, ergodic rate and outage probability. For both metrics, we derived closed-form analytical expressions as well as asymptotic performance. Numerical results show that the proposed system presents benefits to cellular networks by extending ability to serve more users who have different demands on data communication. Monte Carlo simulations are provided throughout to validate the accuracy of the derived analytical expressions.

In this paper, we design and investigate a novel uplink/downlink (UL/DL) non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) network using a common relay. Instead of successive interference cancellation (SIC) for UL/DL NOMA systems with fixed decoding order based on the statistical channel state information (CSI), we adopt the dynamic decoding order according to power level of received signals. Specifically, by exploiting the CSI-based dynamic decoding order, better fairness can be achieved and applicable. This decoding scheme is highly suitable for implementing a NOMA system in practice. The closed-form expressions for the users' outage probabilities are derived, and then an asymptotic analysis is carried out. Insightful discussions with diversity order are provided. Simulations are performed to corroborate the exactness of the theoretical analysis.

In this paper, two energy harvesting policies deploying in cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems are considered. After period of wireless power transfer, the NOMA users including cell-edge and cell-center users simultaneously transmit the superposition coded symbols to the base station (BS). In the last time slot, the BS decodes to achieve its signal based on superposition coded symbol with corresponding power allocation factors. This paper provides exact expressions of outage probability in two schemes. Performance gap of two NOMA users can be raised by providing different power allocation factors. It is confirmed by numerical result. Distance and data rate are main factors affecting outage performance. Scheme I exhibit scenario where power beacon transmits energy signal to NOMA user while the BS feeds energy to NOMA user in Scheme II. It is shown that outage performance of Scheme I is better than that of Scheme II.

The evolution of Internet of Things (IoT) networks has been studied owing to the associated benefits in useful applications. Although the evolution is highly helpful, the increasing day-to-day demands of mobile users have led to immense requirements for further performance improvements such as efficient spectrum utilization, massive device connectivity, and high data rates. Fortunately, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) techniques have recently been introduced as two possible current-generation emerging technologies with immense potential of addressing the above-mentioned issues. In this paper, we propose the integration of RIS to the existing techniques (i.e., NOMA and relaying) to further enhance the performance for mobile users. We focus on a performance analysis of two-user group by exploiting two main performance metrics including outage probability and ergodic capacity. We provide closed-form expressions for both performance metrics to highlight how NOMA-aided RIS systems provide more benefits compared with the benchmark based on traditional orthogonal multiple access (OMA). Monte-Carlo simulations are performed to validate the correctness of obtained expressions. The simulations show that power allocation factors assigned to two users play a major role in the formation of a performance gap among two users rather than the setting of RIS. In particular, the strong user achieves optimal outage behavior when it is allocated 35% transmit power.

In this investigation, a wireless sensor network using a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system is considered in two scenarios related to the number of serving access point/base stations, where two policies provide system performance improvement in two sensors (the near user and the far user). To improve performance efficiency, two robust transmit antenna strategies are designed related to the access point/base station (BS), namely (i) Transmit Antenna Selection (TAS) mode and (ii) two base station (TBS) approach to simultaneously serve NOMA users. First, the TAS scheme is implemented to provide suboptimal outage performance for such NOMA, in which BS equipped at least two antennas while NOMA users are equippeda single antenna. Secondly, the TBS scheme is conducted to enhance the outage performance, especially considering priority evaluation for the far user in user pairs. As an important result, such far users in two proposed schemes are studied by introducing the exact closed-form expression to examine outage behavior. Accordingly, the closed-form expressions regarding ergodic capacity can be further obtained. To corroborate the exactness of these metrics, Monte Carlo simulation is performed. In addition, the proposed schemes exhibit various performance evaluations accompanied by different related parameters such as power allocation factors, the number of transmit antenna, and transmit signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

In this paper, we examine non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and relay selection strategy to benefit extra advantage from traditional cognitive radio (CR) relaying systems. The most important requirement to prolong lifetime of such network is employing energy harvesting in the relay to address network with limited power constraint. In particular, we study such energy harvesting CR-NOMA using amplify-and-forward (AF) scheme to improve performance far NOMA users. To further address such problem, two schemes are investigated in term of number of selected relays. To further examine system performance, the outage performance needs to be studied for such wireless powered CR-NOMA network over Rayleigh channels. The accurate expressions for the outage probability are derived to perform outage comparison of primary network and secondary network. The analytical results show clearly that position of these nodes, transmit signal to noise ratio (SNR) and power allocation coefficients result in varying outage performance. As main observation, performance gap between primary and secondary destination is decided by both power allocation factors and selection mode of single relay or multiple relays. Numerical studies were conducted to verify our derivations.

In this paper, a cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system is studied for the Internet-of-Things (IoT) in which a master node intends to serve multiple client nodes. The adaptive transmission strategy is proposed at the relay node, i.e., the relay can be half-duplex (HD) and/or full duplex (FD). In practical terms, numerous low-cost devices are deployed in such IoT systems and it exhibits degraded performance due to hardware imperfections. In particular, the effects of hardware impairments in the NOMA users are investigated. Specifically, the closed-form expressions are derived for the outage probability. Moreover, the ergodic capacity is also analysed. This study also comparatively analyzes the orthogonal multiple access (OMA) and NOMA with HD and/or FD relaying. The numerical results are corroborated through Monte Carlo simulations.

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and energy harvesting (EH) are combined to introduce a dual-hop wireless sensor system. In particular, this paper considers a novel EH protocol based on time power switching-based relaying (TPSR) architecture for amplify-and-forward (AF) mode. We introduce a novel system model presenting wireless network with impacts of energy harvesting fractions and derive analytical expressions for outage probability and ergodic rate for the information transmission link. It confirmed that the right selection of power allocation for NOMA users can be performed to obtain optimal outage and ergodic capacity performance. Theoretical results show that, in comparison with the conventional solutions, the proposed model can achieve acceptable outage performance for sufficiently small threshold signal to noise ratio (SNR) with condition of controlling time switching fractions and power splitting fractions appropriately in considered TPSR protocol. We also examine the impacts of transmitting power at source, transmission rate, the other key parameters of TPSR to outage, and ergodic performance. Simulation results are presented to corroborate the proposed system.
