Abstract
Recently, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been proposed to improve spectral efficiency greatly over conventional orthogonal multiple access (OMA). However, it is still challenging to implement NOMA into transmission of video. In this research, we investigate video broadcasting design over NOMA systems. When video transmission is considered, quality of experience (QoE) is a better metric for NOMA design than throughput. Therefore, we design a QoE-driven scalable video broadcasting (SVB) scheme over NOMA systems. To achieve scalable transmission performance, power allocation is optimized among multiple video layers, which are requested by users with different channel conditions. Specifically, we formulate the power allocation problem to maxmize the system overall QoE while guaranteeing the basic service of users. Although this problem is non-convex and discontinuous, an optimal algorithm is proposed based on the hidden monotonicity of the problem. Simulation results show that the proposed SVB scheme over NOMA systems outperforms existing OMA and NOMA based schemes in various broadcast scenarios in terms of QoE.
