Hardware Impairments Aware Full-Duplex NOMA Networks Over Rician Fading Channels

Abstract: A cooperative full duplex (FD) non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheme over Rician fading channels is considered. To be practical, imperfect successive interference cancellation (ipSIC) and residual hardware impairments (RHIs) at transceivers are taken into account. To evaluate the performance of the considered system, the analytical approximate expressions for the outage probability (OP) and the ergodic rate (ER) of the considered system are derived, and the asymptotic performance is also explored. Simulation results manifest that the FD cooperative NOMA can improve the ergodic sum rate (ESR) of the system compared to the half duplex (HD) mode.
