In this paper, we examine non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and relay selection strategy to benefit extra advantage from traditional cognitive radio (CR) relaying systems. The most important requirement to prolong lifetime of such network is employing energy harvesting in the relay to address network with limited power constraint. In particular, we study such energy harvesting CR-NOMA using amplify-and-forward (AF) scheme to improve performance far NOMA users. To further address such problem, two schemes are investigated in term of number of selected relays. To further examine system performance, the outage performance needs to be studied for such wireless powered CR-NOMA network over Rayleigh channels. The accurate expressions for the outage probability are derived to perform outage comparison of primary network and secondary network. The analytical results show clearly that position of these nodes, transmit signal to noise ratio (SNR) and power allocation coefficients result in varying outage performance. As main observation, performance gap between primary and secondary destination is decided by both power allocation factors and selection mode of single relay or multiple relays. Numerical studies were conducted to verify our derivations.

Cognitive radio (CR) is a promising solution to address the more and more congested radio spectrum. Cooperative relaying can provide a better transmission performance for the secondary user (SU), while the performance of the primary user (PU, also named licensed user) should be preferentially protected especially when there is misdetection probability. In this paper, in order to keep the PU away from outage caused by the interference from the SU under a certain signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the maximum SNR for the SU can be derived by using the rate decaying factor (RDF). Then, based on the maximum channel gain and the maximum SNR, the outage probability is analyzed using decode-and-forward (DF) relaying and amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying schemes. Numerical results show that the outage probability decreases when the power allocation factor increases for DF strategy, while the outage probability has error floor when the power allocation factor increases for AF strategy. And the relaying scheme based on the maximum channel gain outperforms that based on the maximum SNR when the power allocation factor and detection probability are small, while the relaying scheme based on the maximum SNR outperforms that based on the maximum channel gain when the power allocation factor is large. What is more, AF relaying has better outage performance in the practical implementation.
