Radio Resource Allocation for Non-orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) Relay Network

Radio Resource Allocation for Non-orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) Relay Network Using Matching Game

创新
Although there are several works studying the resource allocation problem in the NOMA scheme, the majority of them focused on the multiple access system and few of them have considered the relay network.

系统：

we study the resource allocation problem for a single-cell non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) relay network where an OFDM amplify-and-forward (AF) relay allocates the spectrum and power resources to the source-destination (SD) pairs.
We aim to optimize the spectrum and power resource allocation to maximize the total sum-rate.

Problem Formulation

求解方法

我们首先假设每个source node在子通道上平均分配其功率，并且每个子通道上relay R 的放大增益是相同的。因此，子通道分配可以作为多对多的双面匹配问题，利用匹配理论来解决。之后，每个source node使用注水算法在每个子通道上分配自己的传输功率，relay R 确定其在每个子通道上的放大增益.
