description This paper analyzed the performance of an ambient-backscatter-(AmBC)-assisted non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system, where a backscatter device (BD) broadcasts its signal to numerous users. More specifically, the realistic assumptions of imperfect successive interference cancellation (ipSIC) and residual hardware impairments (RHIs) for AmBC–NOMA systems were taken into consideration. We further derived the closed-form and asymptotic expressions of outage probability for the BD and the <i>d</i>-th user. Based on the asymptotic expressions, the diversity orders of the BD and the <i>d</i>-th user were obtained in the high SNR regime. Furthermore, throughput and energy efficiency are further discussed for AmBC-assisted orthogonal multiple access (OMA) systems in the delay-limited transmission model. The numerical results revealed that: (i) AmBC–NOMA systems have the ability to achieve better outage behavior than AmBC–OMA; (ii) due to the existence of the backscatter link, the error floors of outage probability for the BD and the <i>d</i>-th user appear at a high signal-to-noise ratio; (iii) AmBC–NOMA systems are able to achieve higher energy efficiency and throughput than AmBC–OMA systems.
