Rate Fairness and Power Consumption Optimization for NOMA-Assisted Downlink Networks

This paper considers a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) downlink network, where a hybrid of NOMA and beamforming designs is developed to enhance the channel capacity. We aim to improve the system performance in terms of rate fairness and power consumption. Hence, a multi-objective problem with...

description This paper considers a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) downlink network, where a hybrid of NOMA and beamforming designs is developed to enhance the channel capacity. We aim to improve the system performance in terms of rate fairness and power consumption. Hence, a multi-objective problem with a joint optimization of user equipment pairing, power control, and quality-of-service requirements is addressed. To efficiently solve the problem, we propose two low-complexity algorithms based on the inner-approximation method, with the first algorithm using the relaxation method and the second one using graph theory. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the two proposed algorithms in comparison with the exhaustive search and existing methods.
