Outage Probability Analysis in Downlink SWIPT-Assisted Cooperative NOMA Systems

We study a downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system, in which a base station (BS) serves a near user and a far user on the same frequency band simultaneously. Due to physical obstacles or heavy shadowing, there is no direct link from the BS to the far user and the near user acts as a cooperative relay for the far user by adopting the simultaneous wireless information and power transfe...
