However, the energy efficiency (EE) of a cooperative NOMA may be degraded due to the additional power consumption incurred at the SUs. We are, therefore, motivated to investigate the EE maximization problem of an FD cooperative NOMA system. More importantly, we investigate the 'signal-to-inference-noise ratio gap reversal' problem of cooperative NOMA systems, which imposes successive interference cancellation (SIC) performance degradation at the SUs. This problem has not been documented in the existing cooperative NOMA literature. A low-complexity algorithm is proposed for maximizing the system's EE while guaranteeing a successful SIC operation. Our numerical results show that the proposed algorithm achieves both a higher EE and throughput over the existing HD cooperative NOMA and nonadaptive FD cooperative NOMA. More importantly, the proposed scheme guarantees a successful SIC operation at the SUs. date: 2018-10-01 date_type: published official_url: http://doi.org/10.1109/TVT.2018.2864545 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1600113 doi: 10.1109/TVT.2018.2864545 lyricists_name: Wei, Zhongxiang lyricists_id: ZWEIX99 actors_name: Bracey, Alan actors_id: ABBRA90 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology volume: 67 number: 10 pagerange: 10123-10128 issn: 0018-9545 citation: Wei, Z; Zhu, X; Sun, S; Wang, J; Hanzo, L; (2018) Energy-efficient full-duplex cooperative nonorthogonal multiple access.
