... and asymptotic outage probability (OP) analysis, throughput performance, energy efficiency and diversity gain. Further, the authors use MATLAB software to perform the numerical computations. Findings This study compares the results from the numerical analysis with several benchmark schemes. The results...

... to aid transmission to customers near the cell’s boundary, which is susceptible to outage. In this regard, one of the important performance metrics in co-operative NOMA is outage probability (OP), which is defined as the possibility that the instantaneous achievable data rate is lower than the desired...
