In this paper, a downlink network with two users as transmitter and relay, respectively, and a central station as a receiver is considered. The aim is to determine the optimal coefficient of non-orthogonal signal symbols and the optimal power allocation in the source-relay in order to maximize the average total rate in a cooperative communication system using the non-orthogonal multiple access technique. To achieve these goals, the average total rate of the cooperative communication system with non-orthogonal multiple access with decode and forward relay in the independent Rayleigh channel was calculated. Then, in the first step, the optimization problem of the non-orthogonal symbols coefficient is mathematically expressed for each power allocation and a closed form solution is proposed. In the second step, the power allocation optimization for the source-relay was introduced and solved. Finally, the joint optimization problem of the non-orthogonal symbols coefficient and power allocation is investigated and an algorithm proposed for the joint optimization problem. The proposed algorithm shows that the joint optimization of the non-orthogonal symbols coefficient and power allocation achieve a higher average rate than the separate optimization of each of these parameters. Also, simulations and numerical results are presented to confirm the theoretical equation, where the simulations show the 3 dB gain for the optimized system using the proposed algorithm compared to the non-optimized system.
