This study evaluates hybrid satellite-terrestrial relay networks (HSTRNs) using non-orthogonal multiple access. It analyzes wireless-powered relays, deriving outage and capacity expressions for amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) protocols.
Area of Science:
- Satellite Communications
- Wireless Networks
- Information Theory
Background:
- Satellite networks evolve slower than terrestrial networks, necessitating integration.
- Hybrid Satellite-Terrestrial Relay Networks (HSTRNs) are crucial for seamless communication.
- Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a key technique for HSTRNs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To comprehensively evaluate the performance of HSTRNs using NOMA.
- To analyze the impact of wireless energy harvesting for terrestrial relays.
- To compare amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) relaying protocols.
Main Methods:
- Derivation of closed-form expressions for outage probability.
- Derivation of closed-form expressions for ergodic capacity.
- Performance validation through extensive simulations.
Main Results:

The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem
The load connected draws the current, and the circuit delivers the power to the load. The alternating current flowing through the load is determined using the rectangular form of voltages, currents, network impedance, and load impedance. The average power delivered to the load is obtained from the product of the square of current and load resistance.
