Recently, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been used as flying base stations (BSs) to take advantage of line-of-sight (LOS) connectivity and efficiently enable fifth-generation (5G) and cellular network coverage and data rates. On the other hand, nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a promising technique to help achieve unprecedented requirements by simultaneously allowing multiple users to send data over the same resource block. In this paper, we study a UAV-enabled uplink NOMA network, where the UAV collects data from ground users while flying at a certain altitude. Unlike all existing work on this topic, this study consists of two stages. In the first stage, we use the well-known Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, which is a metaheuristic algorithm, to deploy the UAV in 3D space, so that the users’ sum pathlosses are minimized. In the second stage, we investigate the user pairing problem and propose a dynamic power allocation technique for determining the user’s power allocation coefficients, as well as a closed-form equation for the ergodic sum-rate. Results show our PSO-based algorithm prevailing over the Genetic Algorithm (GA) and random deployment methods. The proposed dynamic power allocation strategy maximizes the network’s ergodic sum-rate and outperforms the fixed power allocation strategy. Additionally, the results reveal that the best pairing scheme is the one that keeps uniform channel gain difference in the same pair.

Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) provides a positive solution for multiple access issues and meets the criteria of fifth-generation (5G) networks by improving service quality that includes vast convergence and energy efficiency. The problem is formulated for maximizing the sum rate of MIMO-NOMA by assigning power to multiple layers of users. In order to overcome these problems, two distinct evolutionary algorithms are applied. In particular, the recently implemented Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) and the prominent Optimization of Particle Swarm (PSO) are utilized in this process. The MIMO-NOMA model optimizes the power allocation by layered transmission using the proposed Joint User Clustering and Salp Particle Swarm Optimization (PPSO) power allocation algorithm. Also, the closed-form expression is extracted from the current Channel State Information (CSI) on the transmitter side for the achievable sum rate. The efficiency of the proposed optimal power allocation algorithm is evaluated by the spectral efficiency, achievable rate, and energy efficiency of 120.8134bits/s/Hz, 98Mbps, and 22.35bits/Joule/Hz respectively. Numerical results have shown that the proposed PSO algorithm has improved performance than the state of art techniques in optimization. The outcomes on the numeric values indicate that the proposed PSO algorithm is capable of accurately improving the initial random solutions and converging to the optimum.

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) plays an important role in achieving high capacity for fifth-generation (5G) networks. Efficient resource allocation is vital for NOMA system performance to maximize the sum rate and energy efficiency. In this context, this paper proposes optimal solutions for user pairing and power allocation to maximize the system sum rate and energy efficiency performance. We identify the power allocation problem as a nonconvex constrained problem for energy efficiency maximization. The closed-form solutions are derived using Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) conditions for maximizing the system sum rate and the Dinkelbach (DKL) algorithm for maximizing system energy efficiency. Moreover, the Hungarian (HNG) algorithm is utilized for pairing two users with different channel condition circumstances. The results show that with 20 users, the sum rate of the proposed NOMA with optimal power allocation using KKT conditions and HNG (NOMA-PKKT-HNG) is 6.7% higher than that of NOMA with difference of convex programming (NOMA-DC). The energy efficiency with optimal power allocation using DKL and HNG (NOMA-PDKL-HNG) is 66% higher than when using NOMA-DC.

Abstract IThis paper investigates the design of the joint user pairing and power allocation scheme with transmission mode switching (TMS) in downlink multiple-input-single-output (MISO) systems. Firstly, the closed-form expressions of the boundary of achievable rate region of two candidate transmission modes, i.e., non-orthogonal multiple access based maximum ratio transmission (NOMA-MRT) and minimum mean square error beamforming (MMSE-BF), are obtained. By obtaining the outer boundary of the union of the achievable rate regions of the two transmission modes, an adaptive switching method is developed to achieve a larger rate region. Secondly, based on the idea that the solution to the problem of weighted sum rate (WSR) optimization must be on the boundary of the achievable rate region, the optimal solutions to the problem of WSR optimization for NOMA-MRT and MMSE-BF are obtained for the two-user case, respectively. Subsequently, by exploiting the optimal solutions aforementioned for two transmission modes and the high efficiency of TMS, a suboptimal User pairing and Power Allocation algorithm (JUPA) is proposed to further improve sum-rate performance for the multi-user case. Compared with the Exhaustive Search based user Pairing and Power Allocation algorithm (ES-PPA), the proposed JUPA can enjoy a much lower computational complexity and only suffer a slight sum-rate performance loss, whereas outperforms other traditional schemes. Finally, numerical results are provided to validate the analyses and the proposed algorithms.

Abstract In this paper, the design of adaptive transmission mode switching (TMS) to maximize the sum rate for the downlink multiple-input-single-output based non-orthogonal multiple access (MISO-NOMA) systems is investigated. Firstly, the colsed-form expressions of the boundary of achievable rate region of two candidate transmission mode, i.e., NOMA-based maximum ratio transmission (NOMA-MRT) and minimum mean square error beamforming (MMSE-BF), are obtained. By obtaining the outer boundary of the union of the achievable rate regions of the two transmission mode, an adaptive switching method is developed to achieve a larger rate region. Secondly, based on the idea that the solution to the problem of weighted sum rate (WSR) optimization must be on the boundary of achievable rate region, the optimal solutions to the problem of WSR optimization for NOMA-MRT and MMSE-BF are obtained, respectively. Subsequently, by exploiting the optimal solutions aforementioned for two transmission modes and the high efficiency of TMS, a low-complexity Joint User pairing and Power Allocation algorithm (JUPA) is proposed to further improve sum-rate performance for the multi-user case. Compared with the Exhaustive Search based user Pairing and Power Allocation algorithm (ES-PPA), the proposed JUPA can enjoy a much lower computation complexity and only suffer a slight sum-rate performance loss, whereas outperforms other traditional schemes. Finally, numerical results are provided to validate the analyses and the proposed algorithms.
