Abstract
Caching popular contents at base stations (BSs) can effectively avoid redundant data traffic and improve backhaul capacity. Techniques such as multicast (MC) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) can significantly improve spectral efficiency by delivering popular contents to multiple users using a single channel. Therefore, we propose a cooperative transmission scheme of MC and NOMA in cache-enabled wireless cellular networks. First, we derive the probability mass function (PMF) of the number of channels in the MC mode as well as the joint PMF of the number of channels and number of NOMA users in the NOMA mode. Second, we analyse the successful transmission probabilities of the two modes by utilising tools from stochastic geometry. Finally, with the derived probabilities using the two modes, we obtain the total successful transmission probability based on probability theory. The quasi-closed form expression of the successful transmission probability is obtained in a special case, where the noise is neglected, and the path-loss exponent is set to be four. Simulation results validate the accuracy of the analysis and demonstrate the performance gain due to the proposed cooperative transmission scheme of MC and NOMA.
