Cover Story: A novel user pairing scheme is proposed so as to improve the performance of integrated satellite–terrestrial NOMA networks comprising of multiple ground users by enabling cooperative D2D communication among them. The objective is to identify the pairs of users that can benefit from the terrestrial cooperation combined with satellite NOMA. Power allocation for NOMA considers the achieved rates through OMA and guarantees that user pairing leads to higher rates for each pair and an overall rate increase. The impact of various system parameters has been evaluated, and guidelines are given to improve satellite–terrestrial cooperation and spectral efficiency, compared to standalone NOMA and OMA.
