Abstract
In this letter, based on the non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) concept, a quality-of-service optimization problem for two-user multiple-input-single-output broadcast systems is considered, given a pair of target interference levels. The minimal power and the optimal precoding vectors are obtained by considering its Lagrange dual problem and via Newton’s iterative algorithm, respectively. Moreover, the closed-form expressions of the minimal transmission power for some special cases are also derived. One of these cases is termed quasi-degraded, which is the key point and will be discussed in detail in this letter. Our analysis further figures out that the proposed NOMA scheme can approach nearly the same performance as optimal dirty paper coding, as verified by computer simulations.
