In fact, in a cooperative scenario, successive interference cancellation (SIC) is used in NOMA receivers to reduce the complexity of relaying, as each user has to decode high-order user data. This work presents a quality of service (QoS)-based cooperative NOMA-aided group D2D system (Q-CNOMA). The Q-CNOMA system not only reduces the burden on the group transmitter by relaying the signal to a receiver in neighboring cells but also improves the overall system performance. In order to model the major components in a D2D scenario such as receivers clustering around a transmitter, the spatial distribution of D2D transmitters is modeled using a Gaussian\u2013Poisson process (GPP). A closed-form expression of outage probability is calculated and benchmarked against conventional systems to prove the superiority of the proposed Q-CNOMA system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/fi15040118","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,24]],"date-time":"2023-03-24T06:34:07Z","timestamp":1679639647000},"page":"118","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Novel Multi-Cell Interference-Aware Cooperative QoS-Based NOMA Group D2D System"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Muhammad Amish","family":"Hasan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Technology, The University of Lahore, Lahore 54590, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0594-652X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tanveer","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Innovation Education and Research Center for On-Device AI Software (Bk21), Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Chungnam National University, Daejeon 34134, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Asim","family":"Anwar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Technology, The University of Lahore, Lahore 54590, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Salman","family":"Siddiq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Technology, The University of Lahore, Lahore 54590, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdul","family":"Malik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Technology, The University of Lahore, Lahore 54590, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Waseem","family":"Nazar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Technology, The University of Lahore, Lahore 54590, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Imran","family":"Razzaq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Technology, The University of Lahore, Lahore 54590, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Salahdine, F., Han, T., and Zhang, N.
