An Approach for Energy-Efficient Power Allocation in MIMO–NOMA System

ABSTRACT

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) attains a promising result for the several access problems and fulfils the requirements of fifth-generation (5G) networks by strengthening the service quality, like massive connectivity and energy efficiency. To achieve the power allocation of multiple users with the layered transmission, the NOMA is extended with the multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system. In this work, the allocation of power in MIMO–NOMA is optimally done with the layered transmission by the developed Fractional Salp Particle Swarm Optimisation (FSPSO) algorithm. In the MIMO–NOMA, the implemented FSPSO algorithm attained the better sum rate using allocating the powers at multiple layers of users. Also, the closed-form phrase is formed for the achievable sum rate using the Channel State Information (CSI) existing at the side of transmitter. To increase the achievable sum rate, the CSI permits the users to assign the powers at various layers. The proposed algorithm optimally allocates the power with the lower Bit Error Rate (BER) of 0.00039 and better energy efficiency, spectral power, and achievable sum rate of 20.8134 J, 181.660 dB, and 110.615 dB, respectively.
