Cognitive Non-ideal NOMA Satellite-Terrestrial Networks with Channel and Hardware Imperfections

This paper investigates a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) assisted cognitive satellite-terrestrial network which is practically limited by interference noises, transceiver hardware impairments, imperfect successive interference cancellation, and channel state information mismatch. Generalized outage probability expressions for NOMA users in both primary and secondary networks are derived considering the impact of interference temperature constraint. Finally, obtained results are corroborated by Monte Carlo simulations and compared with the orthogonal multiple access to show the superior performance of the proposed network model.
