Description
Summary:In this paper, a novel non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) enhanced device-to-device (D2D) communication scheme is considered. Our objective is to maximize the system sum rate by optimizing subchannel and power allocation. We propose a novel solution that jointly assigns subchannels to D2D groups and allocates power to receivers in each D2D group. For the subchannel assignment, a novel algorithm based on the many-to-one two-sided matching theory is proposed for obtaining a suboptimal solution. Since the power allocation problem is nonconvex, sequential convex programming is adopted to transform the original power allocation problem to a convex one. The power allocation vector is obtained by iteratively tightening the lower bound of the original power allocation problem until convergence. Numerical results illustrate that: 1) the proposed joint subchannel and power allocation algorithm are an effective approach for obtaining near-optimal performance with acceptable complexity and 2) the NOMA enhanced D2D communication scheme is capable of achieving promising gains in terms of network sum rate and the number of accessed users, compared to a traditional OMA-based D2D communication scheme.
