Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a short packet communication method for Non-orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) assisted by a Simultaneously Transmitting and Reflecting-Intelligent Reflecting Surface (STAR-IRS), belonging to the field of next-generation mobile communication technology. Background Technology
[0002] Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) is one of the main application scenarios for future mobile communication technologies, aiming to provide ultra-high reliability (above 99.999%) and ultra-low latency (≤1 millisecond). Achieving URLLC is one of the current challenges in the field of wireless communication. Short packet communication is a key technology for realizing URLLC, effectively reducing system transmission latency by transmitting short data packets (Y.Yu, H.Chen, et al. "On the Performance of Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access in Short-Packet Communications," IEEE Commun. Lett., vol.22, no.3, pp.590–593, Mar.2018.). However, due to the limited data block length in short packet communication, the proportion of pilot overhead available for channel estimation is significantly reduced, ultimately leading to a decrease in system transmission reliability. To compensate for the limitations of short packet communication systems in terms of transmission reliability, intelligent reflective surfaces (IRS) are often introduced into the system to assist in achieving URLLC.
[0003] IRS can reconstruct the wireless channel propagation environment, allowing the received signal to vary according to specific communication needs, thereby increasing system capacity, expanding signal transmission coverage, and improving system transmission reliability. IRS can be divided into pure reflective IRS and STAR-IRS. Compared to pure reflective IRS, STAR-IRS can achieve full-space coverage of the signal by simultaneously transmitting and reflecting the incident signal (X. Mu, Y. Liu, et al. "Simultaneously Transmitting and Reflecting (STAR) IRS Aided Wireless Communications," IEEE Trans. Wireless Commun., vol. 21, no. 5, pp. 3083-3098, May 2022.). Furthermore, in order to further improve the spectral efficiency and system capacity of wireless communication systems, multiple access technologies are often used in the design of wireless communication systems. Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technology is considered to be the most promising multiple access technology. It significantly improves spectral efficiency by allowing different users to share the same time and frequency resources (B. Makki, K. Chitti, A. Behravan, et al., "A Survey of NOMA: Current Status and Open Research Challenges", IEEE Open J. Commun. Soc., vol. 1, pp. 179-189, 2020.).
[0004] The aforementioned technologies can effectively improve the transmission performance of communication systems. However, in the design of practical communication systems, the impact of signal interference cannot be ignored. When electromagnetic interference is present, the energy of the interfering signal can reach the receiving end through the system transmission link, thereby reducing the end-to-end signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of the system and significantly affecting the communication performance of the system. Therefore, the impact of electromagnetic interference will inevitably be discussed in the performance analysis of wireless communication systems.
[0005] Chinese invention patent CN115442816A discloses a method for implementing NOMA short packet communication with a reflective IRS-assisted system. It designs the system using statistical channel state information for a two-user scenario and proposes an algorithm for NOMA power allocation and transmission block length optimization. Chinese invention patent CN116170856A discloses a design method for a NOMA short packet communication system with a simultaneous transmission reflective IRS-assisted system. It uses statistical channel state information to optimize the coefficients of the simultaneous transmission reflective IRS, NOMA power allocation, and transmission block length for a two-user scenario to achieve URLLC. Both of the above IRS-assisted NOMA short packet communication studies assume no additional electromagnetic interference in the transmission environment. In actual wireless communication systems, in addition to being affected by fading and Gaussian white noise, communication systems are often affected by co-channel interference signals. Since IRS can amplify both useful and interfering signals, the performance of IRS-assisted NOMA short-packet communication systems designed in environments without additional electromagnetic interference deteriorates significantly when co-channel interference is present. Therefore, it is necessary to redesign parameters such as NOMA power allocation and transmission block length of the IRS-assisted NOMA short-packet communication system to achieve URLLC in electromagnetic interference environments. Currently, research on how to achieve URLLC by optimizing STAR-IRS-assisted NOMA short-packet communication systems in complex scenarios with electromagnetic interference is still limited. Therefore, researching the optimized design of STAR-IRS-assisted NOMA short-packet communication systems under electromagnetic interference environments is of significant practical importance for improving the reliability and low-latency performance of wireless communication systems. Summary of the Invention
