Optimal Power Allocation and Scheduling for Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access Relay-Assisted Networks
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The emerging non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), which enables mobile users (MUs) to share same frequency channel simultaneously, has been considered as a spectrum-efficient multiple access scheme to accommodate tremendous traffic growth in future cellular networks. In this paper, we investigate the NOMA downlink relay-transmission, in which the macro base station (BS) first uses NOMA to transmit to a group of relays, and all relays then use NOMA to transmit their respectively received data to an MU. In specific, we propose an optimal power allocation problem for the BS and relays to maximize the overall throughput delivered to the MU. Despite the non-convexity of the problem, we adopt the vertical decomposition and propose a layered-algorithm to efficiently compute the optimal power allocation solution. Numerical results show that the proposed NOMA relay-transmission can increase the throughput up to 30 percent compared with the conventional time division multiple access (TDMA) scheme, and we find that increasing the relays' power capacity can increase the throughput gain of the NOMA relay against the TDMA relay. Furthermore, to improve the throughput under weak channel power gains, we propose a hybrid NOMA (HB-NOMA) relay that adaptively exploits the benefit of NOMA relay and that of the interference-free TDMA relay. By using the throughput provided by the HB-NOMA relay for each individual MU, we study the multi-MUs scenario and investigate the multi-MUs scheduling problem over a long-term period to maximize the overall utility of all MUs. Numerical results demonstrate the performance advantage of the proposed multi-MUs scheduling that adopts the HB-NOMA relay-transmission.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
