Abstract

Abstract: Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a promising candidate for wireless access in 5G cellular systems, and has recently received considerable attentions from both academia and industry. In a NOMA system, multiple users share the same carrier frequency at the same time, and their messages are decoded via successive interference cancellation (SIC). While the idea of SIC was proposed a long time ago, it is now regarded as a practical solution to wireless networks. For SIC to work properly, the signal-to-interference ratio of each user needs to be high enough for successful decoding and subsequent cancellation. To meet such a requirement, transmitter power control becomes indispensable. This talk focuses on power control for inter-cell interference management in NOMA systems. The classical power control results based on Perron-Frobenius theory of non-negative matrices will be reviewed, and how they can be applied to multi-cell NOMA systems will be presented. For practical application to 5G systems, it is desirable to have distributed algorithms for power control, which will also be discussed.
