Abstract
The rapid development of mobile Internet triggered massive data exchange among multiple sources, which then results in challenges in the efficiency of multi-user data transmission. Spatial coupling multiple access, where different users share the same resource blocks by superimposing data streams with different time offsets, has been proposed to obtain higher spectral efficiency. The optimization of the system can be carried out through for example constellation rotation or power allocation, which mitigates the interferences and distinguishes users/data streams better. The optimization aims for the maximization of the average mutual information between the transmitted data symbols and the received signal. To solve the optimization problem, we employ machine learning based methods to locate the possibly global optimal solution. Simulation results show that the optimization clearly contributes to the performance improvement of the system.
