Abstract

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with successive interference cancellation (SIC) has recently been considered as a key enabling technique for 5G cellular networks to satisfy future users’ network needs, such as ultra-high transmission rate, ultra-high throughput, ultra-low latency and ultra-high density connections. A group of users is allowed to share the same spectrum and multiplex the power domain to transmit data. In this paper, we investigate the optimization of bandwidth allocation and user grouping under the conditions of transmission power limit, bandwidth allocation limit, and user traffic requirements, so that the total resource consumption is minimized. The key idea to solve the problem is to use the layer structure of the problem and divide the problem into the optimization grouping problem and the bandwidth allocation problem. We propose a simulated annealing algorithm to solve the optimization grouping problem.
