Abstract
In this paper, we derive and optimize the total throughput of non orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with energy harvesting. The source S harvests energy from radio frequency signal received from node A. The source uses the harvested energy to transmit data to N NOMA users classified using instantaneous or average power of channel gains. We optimize the powers allocated to NOMA users and harvesting duration to maximize the total throughput. We also derive packet waiting time and total delays for all NOMA users. We optimize powers allocated to NOMA users and harvesting duration to minimize a combination of total delays of all users. Our results are valid for Nakagami channels with arbitrary positions of users.
