Performance of a Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access System With Full-Duplex Relaying

In this letter, we study a power-domain non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system in which a base station (BS) superimposes the transmit signals to the users. To enhance spectral efficiency and link reliability for the far-distance user, a full-duplex (FD) relay assists the BS while the near-distance user is reached over the direct link. For this setting, we analyze outage probability and sum rate of the NOMA system over Nakagami-m fading with integer fading severity parameter m. Numerical results are provided for outage probability and sum rate to show the effect of system parameters on the performance of the FD NOMA system over Nakagami-m fading.
