Compared with the user cooperation mechanism in the existing power domain non-orthogonal multiple access cellular network downlink communication system, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
(1) improving transmission reliability without sacrificing transmission effectiveness
The present invention reduces the total power required to achieve the transmission rate, and thus the outage rate (when the total power required is greater than the total power allowed, an outage occurs), through a backscatter coordination mechanism and optimal resource allocation. The backscattering cooperation mechanism provided by the invention does not cause transmission rate loss because no additional time slot is needed. Conventional half-duplex forwarding cooperation can also achieve the purpose of reducing the outage rate by reducing the total power required, but it creates a rate penalty because additional forwarding slots are required.
(2) No self-interference and low power consumption
User cooperation based on full-duplex forwarding can improve transmission reliability without sacrificing transmission effectiveness. Compared with a user cooperation mechanism based on full-duplex forwarding, the backscattering user cooperation mechanism provided by the invention does not introduce self-interference. Meanwhile, the backscattering cooperation does not need a user to generate a local carrier, so that the power consumption of the user can be reduced compared with the full-duplex forwarding user cooperation and the half-duplex forwarding user cooperation.

wherein
To verify the effectiveness of the present invention, a comparison of the performance of the prior art method and the present invention in the case of two users is given below with reference to fig. 2 and 3. The existing methods involved include:
1. no cooperation: the basic power domain non-orthogonal multiple access cellular network downlink communication system is that users do not cooperate with each other.
2. Traditional forwarding: the base station occupies a time slot resource with a certain length each time to complete downlink transmission, and the user 1 consumes the time slot resource with the same length to forward the information of the user 2 to the user 2.
3. Adaptive forwarding: only when the user 1 forwards the information of the user 2 to the user 2, which can help the user 2 to successfully recover the information from the occurrence of the information interruption, the user 1 consumes the equal-length time slot resources after the base station completes the downlink transmission and forwards the information of the user 2 to the user 2. Otherwise, the users do not cooperate with each other.
The number of simulation time blocks is set to 107The time length of the time block is set to be equal time length 1s, the average power gain of the channels from the base station to the two users is set to be 1 and 0.5 respectively, the average power gain of the channels between the users is 0.5, and the target rates of the two users are 1bit/s/Hz and 0.5bit/s/Hz respectively. The additive white gaussian noise power at both users is normalized to 1, and the ratio of the total power allowed to be consumed by the base station (in both conventional and adaptive forwarding, also including the user) to the normalized noise power is taken as the signal-to-noise ratio (in dB). For the existing cooperative methods such as no cooperation, traditional forwarding, adaptive forwarding and the like and the backscattering cooperative method provided by the invention, the resource allocation is optimized in each time block respectively, so that the total power required to be consumed is minimum.
The simulation obtains the variation curve of the interruption rate with the signal-to-noise ratio of the downlink communication system of the non-orthogonal multiple access cellular network under the rayleigh channel condition by using the three existing methods and by using the backscattering cooperation method proposed by the present invention, as shown in fig. 2. Compared with a non-cooperation method, the backscattering cooperation method provided by the invention can effectively reduce the interruption rate of the system and improve the transmission reliability of the system.
The simulation results in the curve of the expected rate of the non-orthogonal multiple access cellular network downlink communication system along with the signal-to-noise ratio under the rayleigh channel condition by using the three existing methods and by using the backscattering cooperation method proposed by the present invention, as shown in fig. 3. It can be seen that the backscattering cooperation method proposed by the present invention has the highest expected rate compared with other existing methods, i.e. the transmission efficiency of the system can be improved.
