Abstract
In this paper, a novel geometric progression (GP)-based approach for dynamic power allocation (PA) in a single-carrier multi-user power-domain non-orthogonal multiple access (PD-NOMA) network is proposed. The mathematical analysis of the proposed model furnishes the PA coefficients that satisfy the basic PA as well as successive interference cancellation (SIC) constraints. The model requires a minimum signal-to-noise power ratio (SNR) that depends only on the channel conditions of the strongest-user. With this SNR, the model ensures each of the cluster users experiences at least a constant, desired minimum target throughput. Further, the PA coefficients obtained with the proposed GP-based fair power allocation (FPA) algorithm are analyzed for a multi-user scenario of four, five, and six users, respectively. A comparative analysis of performance metrics, such as the obtained sum-rate, user fairness index, complexity, coefficient’s nature, and the throughput is carried out, that verifies the efficacy of the proposed model. The simulations reveal a fairness index up to unity along with error-free SIC. For a six-user case with a GP ratio of 10, the minimum target throughput unity, and operational SNR 3927.63 (35.94 dB), the proposed algorithm provides a network sum-rate of 16.76 bps and a high fairness index of 91.64%. Furthermore, the geometric progression-based fair power allocation (GPFPA) algorithm provides a trade-off between the sum-rate and fairness index and can be tuned for higher network throughput or higher fairness index. Hence, the proposed model justifies its appropriateness for the sixth-generation (6G) massive connection density and ultra-reliability scenarios.
