We investigate the beamforming for the multi antenna cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system, where an access point (AP) delivers messages for multiple user terminals (UT) with successive interference cancellation (SIC) reception method. Some UTs with multiple antennas cooperate with the AP transmission to improve the diversity and the average power performance. We formally present two optimal beamforming schemes at the AP and at the cooperative UTs. One scheme has no power limitation for the cooperative UTs, while the other one does have such limitation. We guarantee that the rank one beamformer is sufficient to achieve the optimal points so that the proposed schemes have rank one semi-definite programming (SDP) structure. Simulation results show the performance gain of the multi-antenna cooperative NOMA schemes in the sense of diversity and the average power.

Non-orthogonal multiple access schemes with grant free access have been recently highlighted as a prominent solution to meet the stringent requirements of massive machine-type communications (mMTCs). In particular, the multi-user shared access (MUSA) scheme has shown great potential to grant free access to the available resources. For the sake of simplicity, MUSA is generally conducted with the successive interference cancellation (SIC) receiver, which offers a low decoding complexity. However, this family of receivers requires sufficiently diversified received user powers in order to ensure the best performance and avoid the error propagation phenomenon. The power allocation has been considered as a complicated issue especially for a decentralized decision with a minimum signaling overhead. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for an autonomous power decision with a minimal overhead based on a tight approximation of the bit error probability (BEP) while considering the error propagation phenomenon. We investigate the efficiency of multi-armed bandit (MAB) approaches for this problem in two different reward scenarios: (i) in Scenario 1, each user reward only informs about whether its own packet was successfully transmitted or not; (ii) in Scenario 2, each user reward may carry information about the other interfering user packets. The performances of the proposed algorithm and the MAB techniques are compared in terms of the successful transmission rate. The simulation results prove that the MAB algorithms show a better performance in the second scenario compared to the first one. However, in both scenarios, the proposed algorithm outperforms the MAB techniques with a lower complexity at user equipment.

Abstract Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is one of the promising radio access techniques for resource allocation improvement in the 5th generation of cellular networks. Compared to orthogonal multiple access techniques (OMA), NOMA offers extra benefits, including greater spectrum efficiency which is provided through multiplexing users in the transmission power domain while using the same spectrum resources non-orthogonally. Even though NOMA uses Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) to repeal the interference among users, user grouping has shown to have a substantial impact on its performance. This prformance improvement can appear in different parameters such as system capacity, rate, or the power consumption. In this paper, we propose a novel user grouping scheme for sum-rate maximization which increases the sum-rate up to 25 percent in comparison with two authenticated recent works. In addition to being matrix-based and having a polynomial time complexity, the proposed method is also able to cope with users experiencing different channel gains and powers in different sub-bands.
