Performance Analysis of Non Linear Energy Harvesting in Relay assisted NOMA Cooperative Network

In this paper, we have analysed the performance of a relay assisted non orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) cooperative network considering non linear energy harvesting (NLEH) at the relay node. The signals from the two base station uplinked to the relay node through Nakagami-m fading channel. At the relay node, NLEH has been applied to harvest energy from the received signal. Using the harvested energy the data is downlinked to the two end users through Nakagami-m fading distribution. The performance of the system has been explored by deriving the outage probability at both the end users using numerical integration.
