6.1 Introduction
Due to the increasing number of devices to be connected in fifth‐generation (5G) and Internet of Things (IoT) networks, spectrum efficiency becomes a very challenging issue even though extensive research work has been carried out to solve the spectral scarcity problem [1, 2]. Non‐orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is an effective solution to improve spectral efficiency and has recently received significant attention for its promising application in 5G networks [3–7, 12, 13, 30]. The key idea of NOMA is to realize multiple access (MA) in the power domain, which is fundamentally different from conventional orthogonal MA technologies (e.g., time/frequency/code division MA). The motivation behind this approach lies in the fact that NOMA can use spectrum more efficiently by opportunistically exploring users' channel conditions [8]. In [9], the authors investigated the performance of a downlink NOMA scheme with randomly deployed users. An uplink NOMA transmission scheme was proposed in [10], and its performance was evaluated systematically. In [8], the impact of user pairing was characterized by analyzing the sum rates in two NOMA systems, namely, fixed power allocation NOMA and cognitive radio inspired NOMA. In [11], a new cooperative NOMA scheme was proposed and analyzed in terms of outage probability ...
