Non Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) Using a Nonlinear Energy Harvesting Model

<p dir="ltr">This paper derives and optimizes the throughput of NOMA with nonlinear energy harvesting. The Base Station (BS) harvests energy from the received Radio Frequency signal. Then, the BS uses the nonlinear harvested power to diffuse packets to N users. We suggest to optimize harvesting time and the powers of users to optimize the data rate. The optimization of NOMA powers and the harvesting process were not yet performed with a non linear energy harvesting model. The study is performed for Rayleigh channels in the presence of nonlinear energy harvesting model. Furthermore, the theoretical results were confirmed using MATLAB computer simulations.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Wireless Personal Communications<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11277-024-11129-9" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11277-024-11129-9</a></p>
