Outage Analysis of NOMA-based Multiple-Antenna Hybrid Satellite-Terrestrial Relay Networks

In this letter, the outage performance of a novel non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-based hybrid satellite-terrestrial relay network (HSTRN) is analyzed, where the satellite can directly communicate with one user while communicating with the other user only through an amplify-and-forward (AF) multiple-antenna relay. Exact and asymptotic outage probabilities of both users are derived by conside...
