Abstract:

This paper investigates the energy-efficient power allocation strategy for multi-user mmWave non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system with different hybrid precoding (HP) structures. Particularly, we consider the fully-access HP structure and the subarray HP structure, respectively. For these two structures, the finite resolution analog precoder is realized through a low-power switches and inverters (SI) network. In the NOMA system, multiple users are first paired according to their channel correlation and gain difference. Following this, we propose hybrid precoding schemes for the low-power SI-based HP structures. Then, a power allocation (PA) problem is formulated to maximize the energy efficiency of the system, subject to per-cluster’ power constraints and per-user’ quality of service constraints. To solve the non-convex PA optimization problem, we devise a suboptimal solution with two-stage PA strategies. Furthermore, the PA problem aiming at conditionally maximizing the spectrum efficiency is also analyzed. Simulation results show that the proposed mmWave-NOMA can achieve higher energy efficiency than the existing mmWave-NOMA scheme and the conventional mmWave orthogonal multiple access scheme.
