Abstract

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) are two promising technologies for wireless 5G networks and beyond. The UAVs can be used as flying base stations to form line-of-sight communication links to the Internet of things devices (IDs) and to enhance the performance of usual terrestrial cellular networks. Moreover, the UAVs can also be deployed as flying relay nodes for forwarding data from a base station (BS) to the IDs. On the other hand, non-orthogonal resource sharing for many concurrent users is exploited in NOMA, thus improving spectrum efficiency (SE) and supporting massive connections. The NOMA combined with energy harvesting (EH) in an amplify-and-forward (AF) with cooperative UAV systems is researched. Specifically, the UAVs act as rotary-wing relays to forward data from the BSs to two IDs. This paper focuses on the analysis of outage probabilities (OPs), system throughput, and energy efficiency (EE) for two IDs. Besides, we also do the asymptotic analysis of OPs at high signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). Furthermore, this paper also inspects the impacts of the UAV-based relaying on the OP, system throughput, and EE of the proposed NOMA scheme. The derived asymptotic expansions show that the suggested model can enhance user fairness and the analytical results match the simulation results.

1. Introduction

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) communications and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) are envisioned as two key technologies for unlocking the potential of the fifth-generation (5G) and future networks[1, 2]. In particular, the use of UAVs for 5G and beyond-5G networks has received much attention over the past few years [3]. Owning to distinctive characteristics, UAVs have been adopted for a variety of wireless networks and communication applications, for example, UAV-carried flying base stations (BSs) for capacity and coverage improvement, public safety scenarios, information dissemination, UAV-based wireless backhaul, and cellular connected UAVs as mobile users [4]. The NOMA technique exhibits benefits such as increased user data rate, massive connectivity, reduced end-to-end latency, improved fairness among users, high spectral efficiency (SE), and more energy efficiency (EE) than that of traditional orthogonal multiple access (OMA) [5–11]. The NOMA exploited two mechanisms including superposition coding (SC) and successive interference cancellation (SIC) [12, 13]. Some recent studies have showed that the integration of NOMA into UAV networks can enhance the network performance in terms of max-min rate [14], sum rate [15], and mission completion time [16], over conventional OMA schemes. Two protocols are exploited for energy harvesting (EH) at relays including power splitting relay and time switching relay in the decode-and-forward (DF) cooperative communication network [17, 18]. NOMA in UAV-enabled cooperative amplify-and-forward (AF) with the outdated relay selection algorithm is investigated [19].

1.1. Related Works

In this section, we review the novel study works on NOMA and UAV networks. UAV-assisted communication has become a potential application in industry and academic fields. NOMA is one of the important candidates to integrate UAV into 5G and future networks due to its overwhelming characteristics, such as superior spectral efficiency, low latency, and massive connectivity [2]. UAVs have also been recently studied as a promising solution to proven their potential in civil applications such as aerial photography, enhanced freight distribution, and wildfire management and disasters [4, 20]. A resource allocation scheme was proposed in NOMA UAV communication to enhance the user transmission rate with worse channel state information (CSI) [21]. UAVs can act as moving BSs or relays to facilitate reliable and efficient communication with multiple users [22, 23]. In [24], the authors discussed NOMA-based UAV-aided communications such as UAV-BS-enabled NOMA and NOMA-assisted cellular-connected UAVs. In [25], the authors conducted the complete performance analysis of a NOMA-aided UAV communication system, including selection combining double diversity receivers on UAVs, communicating over bivariate Rician shadowed fading channels. The work in [26] investigated the impact of residual hardware impairments on the performance of UAV-aided NOMA multiway relay networks by deriving the approximate analytical expressions for the achievable sum rate. Specifically, the asymptotic analysis in the high signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) regions is carried out by invoking a high SNR slope and high SNR power offset. In [27], the authors investigated the impact of residual hardware impairments on the performance of UAV-aided NOMA multiway relay networks by deriving the approximate analytical expressions for the achievable sum rate. Specifically, the asymptotic analysis in the high signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) regions is carried out by invoking a high SNR slope and high SNR power offset. In [28], the authors studied a 5G-based IoT to access the 5G spectrum to transfer 5G and IoT information simultaneously. The 5G network can be used at the IoT nodes to transmit voice and video information while using the IoT network for forwarding sensing data.

The work presented in [29] investigated a novel UAV relay-assisted IoT model with the emergency communication system that takes into account the latency requirement of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the limited storage capacity of the UAV. A novel joint content caching and EH scheme is studied to improve UAV communications in the IoT NOMA network wherein a UAV acts like an aerial relay for serving users on demand [30]. In [31], the authors studied the throughput maximization problem with a focus on UAV-assisted wireless communication, considering a communication system with one couple of source and destination, where a UAV serves like an aerial relay based on an AF scheme and EH using a PS protocol. Performance of the IoT system with an EH UAV-enabled relay with downlink NOMA under Nakagami-m fading using the DF and AF schemes is investigated, where the time switching and adaptive power splitting protocols are utilized for the UAV [32].

Based on the above review, in this paper, we focus on power-switching relaying (PSR) for an RF EH and AF-based multiple-UAV NOMA in a SWIPT IoT system.

1.2. Motivation and Contribution

This paper researched the engagement of EH and AF-based multiple-UAV NOMA in a SWIPT IoT system wherein a UAV serves as a rotary-wing relay to communicate with two IoT devices (IDs). We also look at the UAV option (UAVO) scheme because it requires CSI knowledge of one-hop links. Hence, the use of rotary-wing relay AF in the UAVO model is greatly desirable in practice when complicated problems occur as the main anxiety. According to the depicted system model, the outage probabilities (OPs), the system throughput, and EE of the NOMA schemes in AF transition systems with UAVO were studied. The major contributions of this paper are outlined as follows: (i)We exploit NOMA access technology in a dual-hop network to improve the SE of the network(ii)A system model is studied in this work that consists of a BS and n types of UAVs and two IDs(iii)The use of one SWIPT based EH and information processing (IP) protocol, specifically BS-based PSR, is exploited at a UAV that serves as a rotary-wing relay in this model(iv)We derive closed-form expressions of OPs, system throughput, and EE at two IDs to assess the performance of the PRS scheme in SWIPT based on multiple-UAV cooperative NOMA systems

1.3. Organization

The remainder of the paper is arranged as below: Section 2 shows the proposed system model and assumptions. Section 3 analyzes the performance parameters with OP, throughput, and EE of the system. Section 4 discusses the simulation results. Ultimately, Section 5 is the main conclusion.

2. System Model

We investigate a downlink cooperative two-hop rotary-wing relay system in which a base station (BS) aims to send the signal to two IDs, i.e., and with the support of one out of AF UAVs with , as shown in Figure 1. It is assumed that there is no communication between the UAVs. We mainly focus our attention on a homogeneous network topology in which all wireless links show non-selective Rayleigh block fading and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN).

As shown in Figure 1, without loss of generality, we assume that the channels of two IDs have been ordered as . We also investigate that and are coupled together to implement NOMA downlink cooperative system. Hence, two successive phases are implicated for completing the information transmission that can be combined by selection combining. Selection combining (SC): Out of the signal received, the strongest signal is selected. When signal is independent and distributes Rayleigh, the increase is shown in the power ratio as follows .

Table 1 below lists the parameters used throughout the paper, unless otherwise stated.

2.1. BS-Based PSR Protocol of EH at

At the , we consider the EH mechanism BS-based PSR protocol.

Figure 2 depicts a diagram illustration of BS-based PSR scheme for EH at in the block time of .

For direct link: In the whole time, , BS transmits information directly to two IDs and , with transmission powers ==.

For indirect link: The collected signal power at is indicated by . Assuming that the BS transmits the information to in the half-block of , while the information is sent from to two IDs and in the remaining time of (i.e., ). BS concurrently sends the superposed coding signal to . Therefore, the sent signal at BS can be given by

Based on the employment of superposition of the sent signals at BS like in the NOMA scheme, the surveillance at can be given by

The signals received at two IDs and , respectively, are given by

Since is further to than , the power is allocated for more than that for to ensure the user fairness.

With no generality losses, satisfies . Based on PSR protocol, divides the collected power into two portions consisting of collected energy and IP energy. The energy harvested at is obtained by

2.2. Information Processing at and

In the first phase, BS transmits signals and for all UAVs and two IDs as in Equation (1).

During the second phase, transmits the signal to two IDs and , where denotes the amplifying gain at , i.e.,

During the first phase, consider like interference in . The immediate SINR at is provided by

In the same way, the instantaneous SINR at is provided by

By following the NOMA scheme, decrypts the message specified for first and deletes it with SIC; then, it decrypts itself without interfering. Hence, the immediate SNR at is provided by

During the second phase, the instantaneous SINR calculation is same as the first phase. Therefore, the immediate SINR at relative to the link is expressed as

Finally, by using (10)-(15), it is assumed that the signals from the forward link and the direct link are associated by selection combining (SC). The instantaneous SINR per ID can be written as

In the next, we will compute the OPs of two IDs assuming a UAVO method [33]. Therefore, the transition index is chosen and its corresponding SNR is given by

5. Conclusion

This paper has investigated the BS-based PSR protocol for the NOMA system. We used an AF rotary-wing relay network with cooperative UAV systems with UAV options. Closed-form expressions of OP for the two IDs were derived. Based on a simulation of the OP, throughput, EE, the results indicated that NOMA with the UAV option improves the efficiency increase by increasing the number of UAVs, but hardly any outage performance when the number of UAVs increases from 2 to 10 in the high SNR region. The indicates that the NOMA protocol with the UAVO will not need to use more than two UAVs. Numerical results confirm that our derived analytical results matched precisely with the Monte-Carlo simulation results in connection with all possible system parameters. Furthermore, we also can deploy the multiple antennas system at two IDs along with the investigation of Rayleigh Rician fading channel for enhancing the system performance that would be in our future works.
