Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access With Cooperative Full-Duplex Relaying.

We propose a full-duplex (FD) cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system with dual users, where a dedicated FD relay assists the information transmission to the user with weak channel condition. Under the realistic assumption of imperfect self-interference cancellation, the achievable outage probability of both users and ergodic sum capacity are investigated, and exact analytical expressions are derived. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed FD cooperative NOMA system attains better performance than the half-duplex cooperative NOMA system in the moderate signal-to-noise ratio regime.
