Abstract
In this study, the authors present and investigate a novel cooperative relaying scheme for cognitive radio networks (CRNs), which is based on non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). In the proposed scheme, following the detection of an idle channel, the secondary base station transmits a power domain NOMA signal to a first nearby secondary user (SU). In addition to decoding its own signal, this user applies a decode-and-forward strategy to relay the signal intended to a second SU. In contrast to previous works, where the spectrum sensing and transmission phases are treated separately, the authors here consider both phases jointly in the design and analysis of the proposed scheme. To characterise performance of the latter, analytical expressions are derived for the outage probability and the ergodic rate of the two SUs by assuming a flat Rayleigh fading channel model. The performance of two traditional orthogonal multiple access schemes is also analysed for comparison. Simulation and numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed cooperative relaying scheme for CRN, as well as the accuracy of the analytical results.
