Abstract
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been extensively studied to improve the performance of the Terrestrial-Satellite Integrated Network (TSIN) on account of the shortage of frequency band resources. In this paper, the terrestrial network and satellite network synergistically provide complete coverage for ground users, and based on the architecture, we first formulate a constrained optimization problem to maximize the sum rate of the TSIN under the limited spectrum resources. As the terrestrial networks and the satellite network will cause interference to each other, we first investigate the capacity performance of the terrestrial networks and the satellite networks separately, in which the optimal power control factor expression is derived. Then, by constructing the relationship model between user elevation angle, beam angle and distance, we develop a dynamic group pairing schemes to ensure the effective pairing of NOMA users. Based on the user pairing, to obtain the optimal resource allocation, a joint optimization algorithm of power allocation, beam channel and base station channel resource is proposed. Finally, simulation results are provided to evaluate the user paring scheme as well as the total system performance, in comparison with the existing works.
Highlights
In the past few decades, the rapid development of terrestrial wireless communications has triggered increasing demand for high broadband and massive access applications, such as augmented reality, virtual reality and high definition video, which in turn raised emergent requirements on achieving massive connectivity and high capacity in future communication systems [1,2]
Different from the aforementioned proposals, we focus on the dynamic characteristic of satellite in actual scenario, by constructing the relationship model between user elevation angle, beam angle and distance, a dynamic divide grouping algorithm is proposed to ensure the effective pairing of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) users
To improve the fairness and resource utilization of user access, a NOMA method based on dynamic divide grouping is proposed
Summary
In the past few decades, the rapid development of terrestrial wireless communications has triggered increasing demand for high broadband and massive access applications, such as augmented reality, virtual reality and high definition video, which in turn raised emergent requirements on achieving massive connectivity and high capacity in future communication systems [1,2]. Different from the aforementioned proposals, we focus on the dynamic characteristic of satellite in actual scenario, by constructing the relationship model between user elevation angle, beam angle and distance, a dynamic divide grouping algorithm is proposed to ensure the effective pairing of NOMA users. During the solution, to ensure the throughput of cell edge users, based on the instantaneous channel gain, the optimal power control factor expression is derived, the overall optimal resource allocation is solved by changing the variable form and successive approximation method. To improve user access throughput, we propose a dynamic divide grouping NOMA method for TSINs. Based on the stochastic geometry theory, with the objective of maximizing the network capacity, a NOMA problem is modeled as an optimization problem of joint user grouping, power control and resource allocation.
