In uplink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks, the order of decoding at the base station (BS) depends on the received instantaneous signal powers (ISPs). Therefore, the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) coverage probability for an uplink NOMA user should be calculated using the ISP-based ranking of the users. In the existing literature, however, mean signal power (MSP)-based ranking is used to determine the decoding order and calculate the SIR coverage probability. Although this approximation provides tractable results, it is not accurate. In this letter, we derive the coverage probability for ISP-based ranking, and we show that MSP-based ranking underestimates the SIR coverage probability.
