Abstract:This paper investigates the secrecy outage performance of a downlink cooperative nonorthogonal multiple access- (NOMA-) assisted hybrid satellite-terrestrial network, where a satellite source communicates with two terrestrial users based on NOMA, in the presence of a terrestrial eavesdropper. We assume that there is no direct link between the satellite source and the far terrestrial user, and the near terrestrial user acts as a relay to forward the information to the far terrestrial user. The near user is assu… Show more
