Joint trajectory and power optimization for NOMA-based high altitude platform relaying system

Abstract

Due to the superiority of large coverage, high mobility, high-quality channels, and reusability, high altitude platforms (HAPs) can be exploited as the aerial communication means to provide users in disaster areas with long-term and stable data relay services. In this correspondence, a HAP relaying system based on clustered non-orthogonal multiple access (C-NOMA) is designed in which the HAP provides data transfer services for base station (BS) and users who cannot communicate directly. According to the system, a joint HAP flight trajectory optimization and power allocation scheme is proposed, which aims at maximizing the downlink average achievable sum rate of all users while satisfying the information causality. Since the formulated problem is non-convex, we propose an efficient iterative algorithm to derive the approximately optimal solution by alternately optimizing the HAP flight trajectory, and the transmit power of BS and HAP. The numerical simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can not only effectively improve the achievable sum rate, but also significantly enhance the fairness between users compared with the benchmark scheme.
