Beamforming Techniques for Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access in 5G Cellular Networks
In this paper, we develop various beamforming techniques for downlink
transmission for multiple-input single-output (MISO) non-orthogonal multiple
access (NOMA) systems. First, a beamforming approach with perfect channel state
information (CSI) is investigated to provide the required quality of service
(QoS) for all users. Taylor series approximation and semidefinite relaxation
(SDR) techniques are employed to reformulate the original non-convex power
minimization problem to a tractable one. Further, a fairness-based beamforming
approach is proposed through a max-min formulation to maintain fairness between
users. Next, we consider a robust scheme by incorporating channel
uncertainties, where the transmit power is minimized while satisfying the
outage probability requirement at each user. Through exploiting the SDR
approach, the original non-convex problem is reformulated in a linear matrix
inequality (LMI) form to obtain the optimal solution. Numerical results
demonstrate that the robust scheme can achieve better performance compared to
the non-robust scheme in terms of the rate satisfaction ratio. Further,
simulation results confirm that NOMA consumes a little over half transmit power
needed by OMA for the same data rate requirements. Hence, NOMA has the
potential to significantly improve the system performance in terms of transmit
power consumption in future 5G networks and beyond.Comment: accepted to publish in IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technolog
Rate splitting in MIMO RIS-assisted systems with hardware impairments and improper signaling
In this paper, we propose an optimization framework for rate splitting (RS) techniques in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted systems, possibly with I/Q imbalance (IQI). This framework can be applied to any optimization problem in which the objective and/or constraints are linear functions of the rates and/or transmit covariance matrices. Such problems include minimum-weighted and weighted-sum rate maximization, total power minimization for a target rate, minimum-weighted energy efficiency (EE) and global EE maximization. The framework may be applied to any interference-limited system with hardware impairments. For the sake of illustration, we consider a multicell MIMO RIS-assisted broadcast channel (BC) in which the base stations (BSs) and/or the users may suffer from IQI. Since IQI generates improper noise, we consider improper Gaussian signaling (IGS) as an interference-management technique that can additionally compensate for IQI. We show that RS when combined with IGS can substantially improve the spectral and energy efficiency of overloaded networks (i.e., when the number of users per cell is larger than the number of transmit/receive antennas).The work of Ignacio Santamaria has been partly supported by the project ADELE PID2019-104958RB-C43, funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033.

Gaussian Message Passing for Overloaded Massive MIMO-NOMA
This paper considers a low-complexity Gaussian Message Passing (GMP) scheme
for a coded massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems with
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (massive MIMO-NOMA), in which a base station
with antennas serves sources simultaneously in the same frequency.
Both and are large numbers, and we consider the overloaded cases
with . The GMP for MIMO-NOMA is a message passing algorithm operating
on a fully-connected loopy factor graph, which is well understood to fail to
converge due to the correlation problem. In this paper, we utilize the
large-scale property of the system to simplify the convergence analysis of the
GMP under the overloaded condition. First, we prove that the \emph{variances}
of the GMP definitely converge to the mean square error (MSE) of Linear Minimum
Mean Square Error (LMMSE) multi-user detection. Secondly, the \emph{means} of
the traditional GMP will fail to converge when . Therefore, we propose and derive a new
convergent GMP called scale-and-add GMP (SA-GMP), which always converges to the
LMMSE multi-user detection performance for any , and show that it
has a faster convergence speed than the traditional GMP with the same
complexity. Finally, numerical results are provided to verify the validity and
accuracy of the theoretical results presented.Comment: Accepted by IEEE TWC, 16 pages, 11 figure
