Abstract

Background: Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a promising technique for improving wireless communication performance in the future. In addition to NOMA, cognitive radio (CR) is another technology that can address the issue of limited spectrum availability and meet the increasing demands for wireless connectivity. Methods: This paper focuses on investigating underlay CR-NOMA-based D2D communications. The study assumes a decode-and-forward (DF) mode used in the system, where nearby users (D1, D2) act as helper users to assist distant users (D3, D4). The paper derives the closed-form expressions for outage probability (OP) and throughput at the far users in three scenarios: (1) Perfect successive interference cancellation (SIC) and perfect channel state information (CSI), (2) Imperfect CSI, and (3) Imperfect SIC. Results: In CR-NOMA mode, the results indicate that the performance of user D4 was better than user D3. Additionally, the OP performance of distant users employing CR-NOMA mode surpasses that of users using CR-OMA mode. The optimal power allocation (PA) values are investigated. Conclusion: The presence of imperfect CSI and SIC has an unfavorable influence on the outage performance. Monte Carlo simulations are used to validate the derived analytical expressions.
