Splitting Energy of Transmit Power Serving Grouping Users in Full-Duplex Networks under Imperfect Hardware

In this paper, we consider a wireless system providing power allocation fairness for grouping users by conducting a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). In particular, a rigorous analysis is performed to evaluate performance of destination in a downlink of wireless system. With advances of NOMA, the user grouping scheme allows users to be shared the same frequency/power domain, and hence, fairness is guaranteed. In this regard, we focus on evaluation of the performance of a cell-center user and a cell-edge user in dedicated group. To enable forwarding function at cell-center user, we require the assistance of a full-duplex– (FD–) based relay to serve the cell-edge user. These users are assigned a fixed power allocation scheme. To characterize system performance, the closed-form expressions of the outage probability are computed for two users. To generalize channels in such system, Nakagami-m fading channels could be adopted to achieve complete theoretical analysis. Furthermore, we provide some comparisons of such FD NOMA under the impact of hardware impairment. We find that a significant improvement of outage probability can be achieved when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the source is high. Numerical results illustrate that both the analytical outage probability of the central user and the cell-edge user match the simulation results.
