Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention provides a secondary user strong excitation power distribution method based on a cooperative NOMA and cooperative spectrum sharing environment;
the invention researches the performance of a multi-user relay communication system in a cooperative NOMA environment. The invention mainly researches the problems of power optimization and relay selection in the system. By utilizing the NOMA technology, the invention effectively improves the total rate of the PU and the SU, designs a strong excitation system to solve the benefit contradiction between the SU and the PU, and provides a power distribution algorithm to maximize the transmission rate of the SU used as the relay on the basis of ensuring the basic transmission rate requirement of the PU.
Given that Channel State Information (CSI) is known, compared to the conventional NOMA static power allocation strategy, the present invention optimizes the power allocation factor and forward power of the secondary user in consideration of the channel condition of downlink transmission. And a minimum rate requirement threshold of main user transmission is set to ensure that the performance of the PU as a frequency spectrum resource provider obtained by cooperation is better than that of a direct transmission condition. The rate of SU transmission as a relay is maximized by optimizing the power allocation factor for the secondary user NOMA transmission. The method can effectively improve the total rate of the PU and the SU and improve the spectrum efficiency of the system, and can simultaneously stimulate more SUs to be used as the forwarding relays of the PU, thereby solving the problem of the contradiction between the user benefits between the PU and the SU.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
a secondary user strong excitation power distribution method based on cooperation NOMA and cooperation spectrum sharing is operated in a multi-user relay communication system based on cooperation NOMA, the multi-user relay communication system based on cooperation NOMA comprises a primary user system and a secondary user system, the primary user system refers to a primary user PU, the primary user PU comprises a primary transmitter PT and a primary receiver PR, the secondary user system comprises K secondary users SU, each secondary user SU comprises a transmitter and a receiver, and a transmitter-receiver pair is formed and is represented as STk-SRkThe master user PU is always in a communication state;
the primary user PU has access to bandwidth, but the channel conditions for direct transmission between the PT and PR are poor. On the other hand, each SU wants to get spectrum access time to transmit its own signal. But the primary user PU controls the allocation of access bandwidth. Therefore, the SU must assist the PU in forwarding in order to have an opportunity to send its own signal. To make better use of bandwidth resources, a cooperative transmission strategy is used, comprising two transmission phases: the direct transmission stage and the NOMA cooperative forwarding stage comprise the following steps:
(1) a direct transmission phase, which is carried out in the first half cycle of the cooperative communication period;
