Abstract

In this article, we investigate the outage performance for a dual-hop free space optical-radio frequency communication system, in which a source node communicates with two users on a non-orthogonal multiple access basis via a single-aperture and multi-antenna relay, which can harvest energy from a power beacon under a nonlinear energy harvesting mode. In particular, two transmitting antenna selection (AS) criteria, namely, the random-maximum AS (RA-AS) and the minimum-maximum AS (IA-AS) schemes, are considered to improve the outage performance of the system. In addition, an adaptive power allocation algorithm, which allocates the power to each user according to the instantaneous channel power gain, is adopted for the RA-AS scheme. Considering the Gamma-Gamma distribution and the Rayleigh fading, the closed-form expressions of the outage probability for each user under both the RA-AS and IA-AS schemes are derived. Moreover, the Monte-Carlo simulation verifies the correctness of the theoretical derivations.
