The best relay is selected among N relays which are capable of harvesting the energy from radio frequency (RF) signals. We analyze the performance of the proposed NOMA relaying system in the conditions of imperfect channel state information (CSI) and Rayleigh fading by deriving the exact expressions of the outage probability (OP) and the approximate expression of the ergodic capacities of each user and the whole system. We also determine the optimal energy harvesting duration which minimizes the OP. Numerical results show that, for the same parameter settings, the performance of the proposed NOMA relaying system, especially the ergodic capacity of the whole system, outperforms that of the orthogonal-multiple-access (OMA) relaying system. Monte-Carlo simulations are used to validate the correctness of the analytical results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19153327","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,29]],"date-time":"2019-07-29T11:20:18Z","timestamp":1564399218000},"page":"3327","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["On the Performance of Energy Harvesting Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access Relaying System with Imperfect Channel State Information over Rayleigh Fading Channels"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Tran Manh","family":"Hoang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Radio Electronics, Le Quy Don Technical University, Hanoi 11917, Vietnam"},{"name":"Faculty of Telecommunications Services, Telecommunications University, Khanh Hoa 650000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nguyen Le","family":"Van","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Radio Electronics, Le Quy Don Technical University, Hanoi 11917, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4532-5493","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ba Cao","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Radio Electronics, Le Quy Don Technical University, Hanoi 11917, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7297-7705","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Le The","family":"Dung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Computational Physics, Institute for Computational Science, Ton Duc Thang University, Ho Chi Minh City 758307, Vietnam"},{"name":"Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Ton Duc Thang University, Ho Chi Minh City 758307, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"2347","article-title":"Nonorthogonal multiple access for 5G and beyond","volume":"105","author":"Liu","year":"2017","journal-title":"IEEE Commun.
