Performance Analysis of Anti-Interference Cooperative NOMA System for Aviation Data Links

Abstract

In collaborative combat operations, the challenges posed by communication adversities in aviation data links have become increasingly conspicuous. Ensuring the reliable connectivity of data links has thus emerged as a critical issue, particularly in light of growing interference effects on communication link outage. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technology that aims to enhance interference tolerance and strengthen stable communication capabilities in data links. To achieve these goals, an anti-interference collaborative NOMA system model applicable to aviation data links is established, and the anti-interference performance of collaborative NOMA technology is analyzed under Rice fading channel conditions. The analysis centers on the system’s outage probability, for which a closed-form expression is derived. Numerical analysis methods are employed to calculate and solve the expression, while simulation experiments are conducted to analyze the effect of factors such as transmission power, cooperative forwarding power, interference power, communication distance, and allocation coefficients on the system’s outage probability. The results show that the aviation data link system using a collaborative NOMA scheme has better anti-interference performance than a non-collaborative scheme, and adjusting the above parameters can effectively improve the system’s stable communication performance.
