Outage of NOMA-based Hybrid Satellite-Terrestrial Multi-antenna DF Relay Networks

This letter analyzes the outage performance of a novel two-user non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-based hybrid satellite-terrestrial relay network (HSTRN), in which one user can directly receive the signals from the satellite while the other user can only acquire its desired signal through a multiple-antenna decode-and-forward (DF) relay. In particular, a novel DF relaying protocol is designed...
