Outage Probability of ASTARS-NOMA Uplink Networks
摘要
The active simultaneously transmitting and reflecting surface (ASTARS) has attracted significant academic interest for its ability to alleviate multiplicative fading and reshape the full-space electromagnetic environment. In this paper, we propose to use ASTARS to support non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in uplink communications. By considering both perfect and imperfect successive interference cancellation (pSIC/ipSIC), we establish novel closed-form and asymptotic expressions for the outage probability in ASTARS-NOMA uplink network. Additionally, the system throughput of ASTARS-NOMA uplink networks is evaluated under delay-limited transmission mode.Numerical results indicate that: (i) The outage probability of ASTARS-NOMA uplink networks is superior to that of ASTARS-assisted orthogonal multiple access (OMA) uplink networks, and (ii) The system throughput of ASTARS-NOMA uplink networks exceeds that of other benchmark schemes.
