Outage Performance of URLLC NOMA Systems With Wireless Power Transfer

Abstract

This letter considers an uplink short-packet ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) system with finite blocklength (FBL). A quasi-static Rayleigh fading channel is adopted in this letter, and we employ wireless power transfer (WPT) to guarantee the data packets transmission of user equipment (UE). A novel non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheme with WPT under FBL is first proposed to improve reliability and reduce latency. Furthermore, we adopt outage probability (OP) as an important URLLC metric, and deduce two closed-form approximate bounds of system OP for finite and infinite battery capacities to characterize the relationship between reliability and latency. Simulation results verify that the derived bounds are tight with theoretical values, and the proposed scheme outperforms traditional OMA methods.
