We consider a relay-assisted non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) network consisting of a source (S), an energy-constrained relay (R), and two users, where a hybrid power-splitting (PS) and time-splitting (TS) scheme is applied at R for energy harvesting. We provide optimal transmission designs for such a network by jointly optimizing the transmit power of S, the TS and PS ratios, the power allocation ratios at S and R, and the user ordering (indicating which user should apply the successive interference cancellation). In particular, when full channel state information at the transmitters (CSIT) is available, our design can minimize the energy consumption while ensuring that two users correctly receive the desired information. When only partial CSIT is available, our design can minimize the system outage probability. We analytically show that the joint optimal solution for a given TS ratio can be derived in a closed form for both CSIT cases. The optimal TS ratio can be found either in a closed form or using a bisection method for the full CSIT case, while it can be found using a one-dimension search for the partial CSIT case. Finally, numerical results are provided to validate the analytical results and to evaluate the performance advantage of the hybrid PS/TS scheme with the proposed optimal designs.
