Abstract
Objective: Wireless networks and devices are consuming a significant amount of energy as
wireless communication is rapidly expanding, radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting has been envisioned
as a feasible technology for powering low-power wireless systems.
Aims: This paper investigates a bit error rate (BER) of the non-orthogonal multiple access with cooperative
relay-assisted power splitting (CR-NOMA-PS) based energy harvesting (EH).
Methods: We consider that the relay works in the decode and forward (DF) mode. For more practical
scenarios, we consider the imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC) and channel state information
(CSI) are available.
Results: We obtain the end-to-end (e2e) BER expressions for the CR-NOMA-PS with imperfect CSI.
Under different scenarios of PS, we evaluate and discuss the BER performance of the users with imperfect
SIC and CSI. We validate the derivation of the BER expressions by simulation results.
Conclusion: The results indicated that the high values of the PS factor reduce the users' performance.
Furthermore, in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the CSI error degrade BER performance and
produced an error floor.
Keywords:
BER, NOMA, SIC, CSI, devices, energy harvesting.
