Joint C-OMA and C-NOMA Wireless Backhaul Scheduling in Heterogeneous Ultra Dense Networks

摘要

Heterogeneous ultra dense network (UDN) emerges as one of the potential techniques to tackle the $1000imes $ data challenge in 5G network. However, by cell densification, backhaul becomes one of the key issues in 5G heterogeneous UDN. In this paper, the cooperative wireless backhaul scheduling is concerned. First, a novel two-layers hierarchical model is proposed for the cooperative wireless backhaul, based on which energy efficiencies (EEs) of the cooperative orthogonal multiple access (C-OMA) and the cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (C-NOMA) schemes are derived and analyzed. Moreover, based on the proposed model, a cooperative wireless backhaul optimization which maximizes EE is formulated. To solve this mixed integer non-linear optimization problem, the greedy algorithm-based C-OMA, C-NOMA and joint C-OMA and C-NOMA (JCC) schemes for cooperative wireless backhaul are proposed. Due to the benefits of both the C-OMA and C-NOMA, the proposed JCC scheme shows its superiority over C-OMA, C-NOMA and the traditional OMA schemes, which is validated by the simulation results.
