| Summary: | We aim to improve both the energy harvesting efficiency and communication reliability of overlay networks powered by harvested energy. To this end, mul-tiple antennas are considered to collect energy efficiently and perform reliable decoding by selecting the transmitting antenna and applying maximum-ratio combining. To further improve communication reliability, nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-relied decoding is applied to the secondary receiver. For performance evaluation, exact formulas for the secondary/primary outage probability are derived in a closed form. The evaluation results show that the proposed method substantially outperforms a baseline without the NOMA-relied decoding in all the system settings. The performance of the proposed method is determined by multiple specifications and optimized by allocating the times for energy harvesting and information processing. |
