With the help of a power-domain non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheme, satellite networks can simultaneously serve multiple users within limited time/spectrum resource block. However, the existence of channel estimation errors inevitably degrade the judgment on users' channel state information (CSI) accuracy, thus affecting the user pairing processing and suppressing the superiority of the NOMA scheme. Inspired by the advantages of machine learning (ML) algorithms, we propose an improved support vector machine (SVM) scheme to reduce the inappropriate user pairing risks and enhance the performance of NOMA based satellite networks with imperfect CSI. Particularly, a genetic algorithm (GA) is employed to optimize the regularization and kernel parameters of the SVM, which effectively improves the classification accuracy of the proposed scheme. Simulations are provided to demonstrate that the performance of the proposed method is better than that with random user paring strategy, especially in the scenario with a large number of users.
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been recognized as a key driving technology for the fifth generation (5G) and beyond 5G cellular networks. For a practical dowlink NOMA system with imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC), we derive bounds on channel coefficients and power allocation factors between NOMA users to achieve higher rates than an equivalent orthogonal multiple access (OMA) system. We propose an adaptive user pairing (A-UP) algorithm for NOMA systems. Through extensive simulations, we show that NOMA with imperfect SIC is not always superior to OMA. Further, the …
The combination of non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) and cooperative communications can be a suitable solution for fifth generation (5G) and beyond 5G (B5G) wireless systems with massive connectivity, because it can provide higher spectral efficiency, lower energy consumption, and improved fairness compared to the non-cooperative NOMA. However,the receiver complexity in the conventional cooperative NOMA increases with increasing number of users owing to successive interference cancellation (SIC) at each user. Space time block code-aided cooperative NOMA (STBC-CNOMA) offers less numbers of S…

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is considered as one of the predominant multiple access technique for the next-generation cellular networks. We consider a 2-user pair downlink NOMA system with imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC). We consider bounds on the power allocation factors and then formulate the power allocation as an optimization problem to achieve {$α$-Fairness} among the paired users. We show that {$α$-Fairness} based power allocation factor coincides with lower bound on power allocation factor in case of perfect SIC and $α> 2$. Further, as long as the proposed…
In this paper, we consider a hybrid scheme of coordinated multi-point (CoMP) technology in MISO heterogeneous communication networks based on power domain non-orthogonal multiple access (PD-NOMA). We propose a novel method based on matching game with externalities to realize the hybrid scheme where the number of the cooperative nodes are variable. Moreover, we propose a new matching utility function to manage the interference caused by CoMP and NOMA techniques. We also devise robust beamforming to cope with the channel uncertainty. In this regard, we focus on both no CSI and partial CSI cases …
Non Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) is a key technique to satisfy large users densities in future wireless networks. However, NOMA may provide poor performance compared to Orthogonal Multiple Access (OMA) due to inter-user interference. In this paper, we obtain closed-form expressions of the uplink NOMA and OMA throughputs when no Channel State Information at Transmitter (CSIT) is available, and of the average data rates assuming that instantaneous rates should be larger than a minimum threshold when full CSIT is available. Analytical comparisons of OMA and NOMA prove that there is no global…
Imperfect channel state information (CSI) at the receiver, which is due to channel estimation error, is one of the main problems toward achieving optimum detection.

In this paper, we consider a dual-hop Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) wireless multi-relay network, in which a source-destination pair both equipped with multiple antennas communicates through multiple half-duplex amplify-and-forward (AF) relay terminals which are also with multiple antennas. Since perfect channel state information (CSI) is difficult to obtain in practical multi-relay network, we consider imperfect CSI for all channels. We focus on maximizing the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) at the destination. We propose a novel robust linear beamforming at the relays,…
We propose a joint channel estimation and signal detection technique for the uplink non-orthogonal multiple access using an unsupervised clustering approach. We apply the Gaussian mixture model to cluster received signals and accordingly optimize the decision regions to enhance the symbol error rate (SER). We show that when the received powers of the users are sufficiently different, the proposed clustering-based approach with no channel state information (CSI) at the receiver achieves an SER performance similar to that of the conventional maximum likelihood detector with full CSI. Since the a…
Motivated by the fact that the data rate of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) can be greatly increased with the help of the distributed antenna system (DAS), we presents a framework in which the DAS contributes not only to the data rate but also the energy harvesting of simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) enabled NOMA. This study considers the sum-rate maximization problem and the max-min fairness problem for SWIPT-enabled NOMA in DAS and proposes two different schemes of power splitting and power allocation for SWIPT and NOMA, respectively, with imperfect channel …

The objective of the formulated optimization problem is to minimize the total power consumption under users' quality-of-service constraints. The considered problem is first transformed into a linear programming problem, upon which centralized and distributed optimal solutions are proposed. Numerical results are presented to verify the performance of the proposed solutions and evaluate the impact of imperfect SIC on the system performance.
The combination of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and mobile edge computing (MEC) can significantly improve the spectrum efficiency beyond the fifth-generation network. In this paper, we mainly focus on energy-efficient resource allocation for a multi-user, multi-BS NOMA assisted MEC network with imperfect channel state information (CSI), in which each user can upload its tasks to multiple base stations (BSs) for remote executions. To minimize the energy consumption, we consider jointly optimizing the task assignment, power allocation and user association. As the main contribution, with…
Recently, channel state information (CSI) at the physical-layer has been utilized to detect spoofing attacks in wireless communications. However, due to hardware impairments and communication noise, the CSI cannot be estimated accurately, which significantly degrades the attack detection performance. Besides, the reliability of CSI based detection schemes is challenged by time-varying scenarios. To address these issues, we propose an adaptive Kalman based detection scheme. By utilizing the knowledge of the predicted channel we eliminate the channel estimation error, especially the random phase…
In this letter, we analyze the performance of the intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) assisted downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems in the presence of imperfect phase compensation. We derive an upper bound on the imperfect phase compensation to achieve minimum required data rates for each user. Using this bound, we propose an adaptive user pairing algorithm to maximize the network throughput. We then derive bounds on the power allocation factors and propose power allocation algorithms for the paired users to achieve the maximum sum rate or ensure fairness. Through extensive …

This work considers the precoding problem in massive multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems equipped with low-resolution digital-to-analog converters (DACs). In previous literature on this topic, it is commonly assumed that the channel state information (CSI) is perfectly known. However, in practical applications the CSI is inevitably contaminated by noise. In this paper, we propose, for the first time, an eigen-inference (EI) precoding scheme to improve the error performance of the coarsely quantized massive MU-MIMO systems under imperfect CSI, which is mathematically mode…

First, when users have sufficient transmit powers, we present a new sufficient condition guaranteeing arbitrary information rate constraints. This result strengthens the feasibility condition in existing literature. Then, we design novel penalty dual decomposition (PDD) based and nonlinear e…
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is considered a key technology for improving the spectral efficiency of fifth-generation (5G) and beyond 5G cellular networks. NOMA is beneficial when the channel vectors of the users are in the same direction, which is not always possible in conventional wireless systems. With the help of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), the base station can control the directions of the channel vectors of the users. Thus, by combining both technologies, the RIS-assisted NOMA systems are expected to achieve greater improvements in the network throughput. Howeve…

Linear hybrid beamformer designs are conceived for the decentralized estimation of a vector parameter in a millimeter wave (mmWave) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Internet of Things network (IoTNe). The proposed designs incorporate both total IoTNe and individual IoTNo power constraints, while also eliminating the need for a baseband receiver combiner at the fusion center (FC). To circumvent the non-convexity of the hybrid beamformer design problem, the proposed approach initially determines the minimum mean square error (MMSE) digital transmit precoder (TPC) weights followed by a simul…

This paper studies a multiple-input single-output non-orthogonal multiple access cognitive radio network relying on simultaneous wireless information and power transfer. A realistic non-linear energy harvesting model is applied and a power splitting architecture is adopted at each secondary user (SU). Since it is difficult to obtain perfect channel state information (CSI) in practice, instead either a bounded or gaussian CSI error model is considered. Our robust beamforming and power splitting ratio are jointly designed for two problems with different objectives, namely that of minimizing the …
