Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communications, and in particular to a movable antenna assisted hybrid NOMA multi-dimensional resource allocation method and system. Background Art

[0002] With the explosive growth of computing-intensive applications such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and autonomous driving in the wireless Internet of Things, mobile edge computing (MEC) technology has emerged as an important enabling technology for the next generation of mobile communication networks. The core goal of MEC is to offload computing tasks from resource-constrained mobile devices (such as smartphones, sensors, etc.) to infrastructure at the edge of the network (such as MEC servers deployed at base stations), and use the powerful computing power of edge servers to achieve efficient task processing. Compared with local computing, MEC technology can not only shorten task processing latency through the high-performance computing units of edge servers, but also mobile devices can avoid continuous high-load operation of local processors through computing offload, thereby effectively extending device battery life and reducing energy consumption.

[0003] However, the large-scale application of MEC faces the following challenges: on the one hand, the limited computing / storage resources of edge servers cannot meet the dynamic needs of multiple users and multiple tasks, and an efficient resource allocation mechanism is required; on the other hand, the scarcity of wireless spectrum resources and the energy limitation of terminals make computing offloading and resource allocation under limited resources a complex optimization problem. In this context, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), as an important emerging technology for next-generation wireless networks, has become the key to breaking through the performance bottleneck of MEC with its spectrum efficiency advantage. NOMA allows multiple users to share the same time-frequency resource block for signal transmission, and achieves signal separation with the help of successive interference cancellation (SIC) technology. In the MEC scenario, NOMA supports multiple users to concurrently transmit offload requests through power domain multiplexing, effectively improving system throughput.

[0004] Although NOMA-assisted MEC has shown significant advantages in improving offload transmission efficiency and computing offload capabilities, its practical applications still face challenges such as insufficient dynamic resource adaptation and a single resource allocation dimension. Specifically, the performance of NOMA transmission depends on the channel conditions of mobile devices, and the heterogeneous task loads of mobile terminals (such as the coexistence of computing-intensive tasks and low-latency sensitive tasks), differentiated terminal offload urgency, and solidified channel conditions will lead to low offload transmission efficiency and limitations in device fairness, thereby reducing the performance of the overall system. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new type of transmission technology to enhance the dynamic adaptability and robustness of the system to meet the needs of future ultra-dense, low-latency, and highly reliable mobile edge computing scenarios. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve at least one of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a movable antenna assisted hybrid NOMA (non-orthogonal multiple access) multi-dimensional resource allocation method and system, which can actively regulate channel gain to reduce the unloading transmission energy consumption of mobile devices in a mobile edge computing network.

[0006] A multi-dimensional resource allocation method and system for hybrid non-orthogonal multiple access assisted by a movable antenna is provided for a mobile edge computing (MEC) network. In the present application, a MEC network is considered to include a single-antenna base station with a MEC server deployed and multiple users equipped with a single movable antenna, each of which needs to calculate a computationally intensive and delay-critical task and offload it to the base station. The offloading amount and maximum offloading time of each user are different during the offloading process. In the present application, the architecture of the movable antenna can be to adjust the position of the antenna through a mechanical structure, or to achieve dynamic adjustment of the antenna by using the morphological changes of fluid materials such as liquid metals and electrolytes. The present application adopts a MEC strategy of hybrid NOMA transmission, and the offloading of users is arranged according to the urgency of their tasks. Unlike the MEC strategy of orthogonal transmission, when a user with a more urgent task is offloading, other users with less urgent tasks can still offload. Unlike the traditional NOMA transmission MEC strategy that forces all users to start and complete offloading at the same time, the hybrid NOMA transmission MEC strategy divides the transmission cycle into multiple offloading time slots. Users can offload task data in different offloading time slots in segments, and the task data in the same offloading time slot uses NOMA transmission. This strategy improves offloading efficiency and provides users with more flexible opportunities to offload tasks.

[0007] In the method proposed in the present application, the base station estimates the channel state information (CSI) of each user's communication link through channel estimation and compressed sensing methods, including the response, transmission angle and arrival angle of each transmission path. The base station divides the entire transmission unloading cycle into unloading time slots equal to the number of users. Users unload in different time slots according to the urgency of their own tasks and the amount of unloaded data. Different users use NOMA transmission to unload task data in the same unloading time slot. The user's unloading completion time will constrain the user to complete the unloading in a specific unloading time slot, and the unloading time slot will also be subject to the unloading completion time of each user. For example, the user with the shortest unloading completion time, that is, the user with the highest task urgency, must complete the unloading in the first unloading time slot, and the duration of the first unloading time slot shall not be greater than the unloading completion time of the user with the shortest unloading completion time. The user with the second shortest unloading completion time can unload task data in the first two time slots, but must also complete the unloading in the first two time slots, and the sum of the durations of the first two unloading time slots shall not be greater than the unloading completion time of the user with the second shortest unloading completion time. Similarly, the user with the longest unloading completion time can unload task data in all unloading time slots, and the total duration of all unloading time slots shall not be greater than the unloading completion time of the user with the longest unloading completion time.

[0008] In the method proposed in this application, the unloading time slot, user unloading power and movable antenna position are jointly optimized as follows: (1) The base station will construct an energy-minimizing optimization problem based on the obtained channel response information, the user's offloading urgency, and the user's task offloading amount, with the goal of minimizing the user's total offloading energy consumption, and design the offloading time slot, user offloading power, and the position of the user's movable antenna. In each offloading time slot, the movable antennas equipped by all users will adjust their positions, actively causing the channel time-varying characteristics on the user link to increase additional time diversity gain, further reducing the user offloading energy consumption of the network.

[0009] (2) The unloading time slot, user unloading power and the position of the movable antenna are calculated through alternating iterations to obtain the optimal value. At the initial stage of the iteration, the initial unloading time slot, user unloading power and the position of the movable antenna are set. In each iteration, given the position of the movable antenna in the previous iteration, the unloading time slot and user unloading power are jointly designed; given the unloading time slot and user unloading power in this iteration, the movable antenna position of all users in the unloading time slot is jointly designed until convergence or the maximum number of iterations is reached. The optimal unloading time slot, the optimal user unloading power and the optimal user movable antenna position are obtained. After the base station calculates the above parameters, they are sent to each user through the downlink control channel.

[0010] In order to implement the proposed method, a multi-dimensional resource allocation system for hybrid NOMA assisted by movable antennas is constructed. The system includes a channel reconstruction module, a multi-dimensional resource collaborative calculation module, a multi-dimensional resource execution module, and a wireless transmission / reception transmission module. The channel reconstruction module is used to obtain the multipath response parameters of the wireless channel from the base station to the mobile user, including the transmission angle, arrival angle and complex response value of each transmission path, and generate a channel state information matrix; the multi-dimensional resource collaborative calculation module is mainly used to jointly calculate the unloading time slot, the user unloading power and the position of the user's movable antenna; the multi-dimensional resource execution module is used to write the unloading time slot into the scheduler of the base station, and configure the user's RF front end and the movable antenna position according to the unloading time slot, the user unloading power and the movable antenna; the wireless transmission / reception transmission module is used for the reception and transmission of base station and mobile user signals. Before the mobile user task is unloaded, the channel reconstruction module extracts the multipath response parameters through the sparse signal recovery algorithm, and the parameters are used as the input environment state of the multi-dimensional resource collaborative calculation module.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can at least achieve the following beneficial effects: The present invention can be applied in mobile edge computing network scenarios. By introducing movable antennas in the hybrid non-orthogonal multiple access offloading transmission scheme, the time diversity of the computing network is increased, and the offloading time slots, user offloading power and the position of the user's movable antenna in the network are jointly designed to obtain the optimal value, which can improve the offloading flexibility of users in the network and reduce the user's offloading energy consumption.

[0016] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation mode of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] The core of the embodiment of the present invention is to provide a multi-dimensional resource allocation method and system for movable antenna-assisted hybrid non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) to reduce the unloading energy consumption of users in mobile edge computing (MEC) scenarios.

[0018] The embodiment of the present invention provides a multi-dimensional resource allocation method for a movable antenna assisted hybrid NOMA, which is applied to a mobile edge computing network, such as Figure 2 The mobile edge computing network consists of a single antenna and a base station with a MEC server deployed. K There are users equipped with a single movable antenna, where the user index and the user index set are represented as k and Each user needs to calculate a computationally intensive and latency-critical task and offload it to the base station. During the offloading process, the offloading amount and maximum offloading time of each user are different. k The amount of unloaded data and the maximum unloading time are expressed as and In each offloading cycle, the user uses the hybrid NOMA transmission method to offload the task data. First, the base station divides the entire transmission offloading cycle into offloading time slots equal to the number of users, where i The unloading time slot is represented as . Users use different unloading powers to unload tasks in different unloading time slots according to the urgency of unloading their own tasks and the amount of data required for unloading tasks. Different users use NOMA transmission mode to unload task data in the same unloading time slot. The user's unloading completion time will constrain the user to complete the unloading in a specific unloading time slot. At the same time, the unloading time slot will also be subject to the unloading completion time limit of each user. The urgency of unloading the user's task is judged according to the user's unloading completion time. In one of the embodiments of the present invention, the unloading urgency of the user's task is set to be strongly correlated with the user's unloading completion time, that is, the shortest user unloading completion time corresponds to the highest unloading urgency, and vice versa. In order to better describe the method proposed in the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the relationship between the user's unloading completion time is as follows , which is the uninstall completion time of user 1 The shortest,users who are considered to have the highest urgency for offloading tasks,users K Uninstallation completion time The longest is considered as the user with the lowest offloading urgency of the task. According to the hybrid NOMA criterion, user 1 must be in the first offloading time slot. The uninstallation is complete, and It must not be greater than the uninstall completion time of the user with the shortest uninstall completion time, that is To satisfy ; User 2 can unload task data in the first two unloading time slots, and the sum of the durations of the first two unloading time slots must not be greater than the maximum unloading time of user 2, that is, the following constraints are met ; and so on, k The user can be in k Unload task data before the unloading time slot, and its unloading time slot meets , Indicates k The total duration of all unloading time slots shall not be greater than the unloading completion time of the user with the longest unloading completion time. Figure 3 As shown in In the unloading time slot, only the user i To User K Task offloading can be performed because user 1 to user i -1 has completed uninstallation, in In the unloading time slot, only the user K In this embodiment, a slow fading far-field response channel is considered, in which the moving area of ​​each user's movable antenna is significantly smaller than the signal propagation distance, and the user k The feasible area of ​​the movable antenna in one dimension Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the transmission angle (Angle of Departure, AoD), the angle of arrival (Angle of Arrival, AoA) and the amplitude of the complex path coefficient remain unchanged on each transmission path, and the change of the movable antenna position will only affect the change of the complex path coefficient. In one embodiment of the present invention, respectively represent the transmission angle from the base station to the user k The received field response vector and from user k The transmission field response vector to the base station The expression is: ; in represents an imaginary unit; Indicates the radiation wavelength of the signal; Indicates the location of the base station fixed antenna; Indicates base station to user k In the The angle of arrival of the root receiving path, , Indicates the diameter number of the receiving diameter; Indicates user k To the base station The emission angle of the root emission path, , Indicates the diameter of the launch path, Indicates user k The movable antenna is i The location of the unloading time slot.

In the method described, a movable antenna is equipped on a mobile user, and the mobile user unloads its own tasks to a mobile edge computing server through a hybrid non-orthogonal multiple access transmission mode. By constructing a multidimensional resource allocation problem in the time, power and space domains with the goal of minimizing user energy consumption, the initial unloading time slot, the initial user unloading power and the initial position of the user's movable antenna are set; then an iterative loop is entered, given the user's movable antenna position of the current iteration, the problem is converted into a convex difference programming form by defining new optimization variables, and then the unloading time slot and user unloading power are solved by an iterative convex programming method; in this iteration, by giving the unloading time slot and user unloading power, the base station constructs a position design optimization problem for the user's movable antenna with the criterion of enhancing the user's unloading throughput, and then calculates the convex approximation expression of the relevant throughput expression and solves the user's movable antenna position through an iterative continuous convex approximation method; repeat the above two steps until convergence, and the optimal unloading time slot, optimal user unloading power and optimal user's movable antenna position are obtained.
