Abstract

Abstract: This study investigates the outage performance for a wireless-powered relaying satellite-terrestrial system, which consists of a satellite source, a relay, a power beacon, and two users. In particular, the satellite source transmits its information to the relay, which uses up all the harvested energy from the power beacon with a nonlinear energy harvesting mode to forward a superimposed signal of the source and its own information under a non-orthogonal multiple access protocol. Assuming the satellite link experiences Shadowed-Rician fading and the terrestrial links undergo Nakagami- m fading distribution, the analytical expressions of outage probability for both users are presented in the presence of imperfect successive interference cancellation. In addition, the optimal power allocation factor, which can result in the best outage performance, is also obtained. Finally, Monte-Carlo simulations are used to verify the accuracy of the analytical expressions.
