Outage Performance of Device-to-Device enabled Cooperative Non-orthogonal Multiple Access

Device-to-device (D2D) communication and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) are evolving as dominant technology for Fifth-Generation (5G) and beyond cellular networks. In this paper, we consider a full-duplex D2D enabled multi-cell cooperative NOMA system in which the D2D receiver obtains the message from D2D transmitter, decode and forward relay, and multiple base stations. We analyze the outage probability and data rate under Nakagami-m fading channel and propose an algorithm to find the same. Results show that the proposed algorithm improves the outage performance and provides better data rate to D2D users.
