Abstract

In the existing Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access power allocation algorithm, the iterative water-filling algorithm is a commonly used algorithm, which has good performance but high complexity. In order to reduce the complexity, this paper divides the power allocation problem of Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access into two steps. Firstly, the water-filling algorithm is used to complete the power allocation between sub-carriers, then the greedy algorithm is used to allocate power to the superimposed users in the carrier. Many elements in the candidate power allocation coefficient set that are impossible to be optimal solutions are deleted by using the sum of power distribution coefficients of each user and the product of throughput, which effectively reducing the complexity. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has a slightly lower performance than the iterative water injection algorithm, but it effectively reduces the complexity. The performance of the proposed algorithm is better than other traditional algorithms, and a good compromise between system performance and complexity is achieved.
