Achievable rate of best relay selection for non-orthogonal multiple access-based cooperative relaying systems
Jung-Bin Kim, Myung Sun Song, In-Ho Lee · 2016
In this paper, the best relay selection (BRS) is proposed for cooperative relaying system based on non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). Approximate and asymptotic expressions for average rate of the proposed scheme are derived under independent Rayleigh fading channels. Numerical results show that the NOMA-based BRS (N-BRS) attains more rate gain than the conventional BRS (C-BRS) when a number of relays becomes large.
