Abstract:

This paper studies the downlink scenario of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA). The UAV serves as a full duplex (FD) amplify-and-forward relay to assist the base station (BS) in its communication with a set of user equipments (UEs). In this framework, we formulate an optimization problem with the goal of maximizing the minimum achievable rate by jointly optimizing the BS precoding vectors, the common-stream split, UAV transmit power, and the UAV location subject to the power budget constraints of the BS and UAV. Due to the non-convex nature of the problem, we propose an alternating optimization algorithm that decomposes the main problem into a power allocation subproblem and a UAV location subproblem, which are solved in an alternative way. Both subproblems are solved using a successive convex approximation approach. Our numerical results show that the proposed model outperforms traditional RSMA, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), and UAV-assisted NOMA, demonstrating the efficacy of our approach in achieving higher minimum achievable rates.
