Abstract—The paper considers Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) together with Multiple Input Single Output (MISO) model in transmitting of proximity users under help of wireless power transfer. To support more harvested energy, a multiple-antenna Power Beacon (PB) is proposed to robust NOMA transmission network, especially enhanced successful communication with short distance transmission. Accordingly, the alternative energy source can be used to maintain small devices which can operate at close position efficiently. In this paper, a model of RF wireless energy transfer for NOMA system will be investigated. As an important result, we derive novel analytical expressions for outage probability to performance evaluation. This paper will analyze outage probability by matching Monte-Carlo and analytical simulations to corroborate the exactness of derived expressions.
