FIG. 3 is a diagram of equivalent K parallel single group MIMO-NOMA channels according to FIG. 1. In this case, the received signal vector of the ith user device in the kth group can be represented as:
according to equation (11), for intra-group interference of two user devices in the kth group, the strong user may remove the signal vector of the weak user by performing SIC, and the weak user may directly decode the received signal vector considering the signal vector of the strong user as noise. Based on the above, in the following description, the design of the proposed downlink multi-group MIMO-NOMA system 100 will focus mainly on the MSE performance of two user equipments in a single group.
In step S220, a first MSE function associated with the strong user decoding the first signal through the first decoder and a second MSE function associated with the weak user decoding the second signal through the second decoder in each group are obtained, and a third MSE function associated with the weak user decoding the second signal through the third decoder.

in step S230, given the second precoder, power allocation factors corresponding to the respective groups are calculated for the respective groups on the condition that the maximum value among the first MSE function, the second MSE function, and the third MSE function is minimized.
In this embodiment, two user devices in a single group are not only able to decode their own signal vectors, but the strong user can also recover the signal vectors of the weak user during SIC in NOMA transmission.

In summary, the embodiments of the present invention provide a joint power allocation, precoding and decoding method and a base station thereof; firstly, a precoder capable of eliminating interference among groups is obtained through a block diagonalization technology, and MIMO-NOMA channels of a plurality of groups are decomposed into a plurality of parallel single group MIMO-NOMA channels; the invention also considers the MSE performance of the MIMO-NOMA system, and two optimization problems are formed for the power allocation factor, the precoder and the decoder in sequence so as to obtain the MSE performance of a certain level; in addition, the invention further obtains the final optimal power allocation factor, the optimal precoder and the optimal decoder through an iterative algorithm so as to further improve the MSE performance. In summary, the present invention can effectively improve the performance of the MIMO-NOMA system and provide better transmission quality.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make appropriate changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, which should be construed as broadly as the invention pertains.
