abstract = "Non Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) is a technology to guarantee the explosively increased Quality of Service(QoS) of users in
5G networks. NOMA can remove the frequent orthogonality in Orthogonal Multiple Access (OMA) while allocating the power differentially
to classify user signals. NOMA can guarantee higher communication speed than OMA. However, the NOMA has one disadvantage; it
consumes a more energy power when the distance increases. To solve this problem, relay nodes are employed to implement the cooperative
NOMA control idea. In a cooperative NOMA network, relay node participations for cooperative communications are essential. In this
paper, a new bandwidth allocation scheme is proposed for cooperative NOMA platform. By employing the idea of Vickrey-Clarke-Groves
(VCG) mechanism, the proposed scheme can effectively prevent selfishly actions of relay nodes in the cooperative NOMA network.
Especially, base stations can pay incentives to relay nodes as much as the contributes of relay nodes. Therefore, the proposed scheme
can control the selfish behavior of relay nodes to improve the overall system performance."
