WMMSE resource allocation for NOMA-FD

Power and channel allocation in interference-limited systems is a key enabler for beyond 5G (B5G) technologies, such as multi-carrier full duplex non-orthogonal multiple access (FD-NOMA). In FD-NOMA systems power allocation is a very computationally intense non-convex problem due to the presence of strong interference and the integrality condition on channel allocation. In this paper, we propose an iterative power allocation algorithm based on the minimization of the weighted mean square error, which converges to a feasible allocation of the original problem. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has by far the lowest complexity among other state-of-the-art solutions. Moreover, they assess the validity of our approach showing performance close to the theoretical optimum.Comment: Extended version of the article submitted to Communication Letter
