Abstract
In this paper, we consider a two-tier three phases simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT)-enabled down-link cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system. In inner tier, the farther central user decodes the information of the outer users, and then harvests energy from the base station to serve the outer users as a dedicated relay. In the cooperative phase, the nearer outer user is the potential relay to the further one; the users need to decode the information of the other outer user and also harvest energy for information transmission. The expressions of the achievable rate and outage probability of users are derived based on the transmit power allocation and the power splitting for the SWIPT system. A two-stage optimization problem is formulated by a resource allocation strategy, where the problem is constrained by the power allocations, the requirements of successive interference cancelation, and the outage probability. Since the primary problem of the outer optimization problem is non-convex, the problem is solved by the successive convex approximation (SCA). The rate maximization algorithm based on the dual-loop optimization is further developed. The simulation results validate that the proposed resource allocation scheme is capable of satisfying the performance requirements in a cooperative NOMA system, and the results also demonstrate the advantage of the cooperative NOMA system when implementing the SWIPT on the benchmarks of orthogonal multiple access (OMA).
