Abstract:

This paper studies coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmission with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) for a simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) network. We investigate two different CoMP-NOMA schemes, namely joint transmission-NOMA (JT-NOMA) and Alamouti NOMA (A-NOMA). Also, as the benchmark, joint transmission orthogonal multiple access (JT-OMA) is considered. Expressions are derived for the outage probabilities achieved by JT-NOMA, A-NOMA, and JT-OMA for cell edge users with quality of service (QoS) requirements. To compare these schemes in terms of spectral efficiency, we use the ε-outage rate region that is defined to be the set of all achievable rate pairs at which the outage probabilities are equal to ε. It is shown that A-NOMA is superior to both JT-NOMA and JT-OMA in high SNR. Also, it is analytically proved that JT-NOMA outperforms JT-OMA, when the circuit energy consumption is negligible. A particularly interesting observation is that when the circuit energy consumption is non-negligible, JT-NOMA is not always better than JT-OMA. It is shown that when the difference between the expectations of effective channel power gains is not sufficiently large, JT-OMA is superior to JT-NOMA for the same circuit energy consumption.
