“…For example, in [ 12 , 13 , 14 ], different types of NOMA–SWIPT cooperative relay network models are proposed, and the resource allocation optimization methods is studied with the goal of outage performance of the networks. On this basis, other studies also comprehensively consider the impact of the throughput [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ], diversity gain [ 20 , 21 , 22 ], and user transmission distance [ 23 , 24 ], verifying that the cooperative relay network of NOMA–SWIPT fusion has a good prospect in energy and resource optimization. Due to the adoption of the relay cooperation scheme, under the multi-relay model, the reasonable formulation of the relay selection methods can effectively improve the network performance.…”
