Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, specifically to an active STAR-RIS-assisted uplink MIMO-NOMA system optimization method based on inter-cluster serial interference cancellation for maximizing speed. Background Technology

[0002] Recently, a novel concept of a reconfigurable smart surface (STAR-RIS) that simultaneously transmits and reflects signals has been proposed. Unlike traditional RIS that confines reflected signals to a half-space on the same side of the smart reflector, STAR-RIS can transmit incident signals to the opposite side of the smart reflector, significantly improving deployment flexibility. On the other hand, Orthogonal Multiple Access (OMA) uses orthogonal time / frequency resource blocks to serve each user. In contrast, Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) allows multiple users to obtain service on the same resource block by using superposition coding at the transmitter and serial interference cancellation (SIC) at the receiver. NOMA is considered an effective technique for increasing the number of users that can communicate with the base station simultaneously. The combination of NOMA and STAR-RIS can effectively enhance system performance. However, in passive RIS systems, the double-fading effect limits capacity gain. To overcome this fundamental limitation, the concept of active RIS has been proposed. Unlike passive RIS, which only reflects / transmits signals without amplification, active RIS can use amplifiers integrated into its components to amplify the reflected / transmitted signals. However, in complex scenarios with a large number of users and real-time requirements, the resulting computation, latency, and error propagation will severely limit system performance.

[0003] Traditional passive STAR-RIS suffers from double fading in the "base station-STAR-RIS-user" cascaded link, resulting in limited gain. However, active STAR-RIS can amplify the signal at the component level, thus overcoming the inherent performance bottleneck of passive RIS. But due to significant inter-cluster interference in multi-cluster, multi-user, and uplink scenarios, it is difficult to achieve ideal performance by directly using traditional NOMA intra-cluster SiC. Summary of the Invention

Use an alternating optimization framework to decompose the problem into three sub-problems: base station equalizer optimization, user transmit power control and active STAR-RIS beamforming design.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0081] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and effects of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0082] Example 1: An uplink MIMO-NOMA system optimization method for maximizing sum and rate includes the following steps:

[0083] Step 1: In the active STAR-RIS-assisted uplink MIMO-NOMA system, users are divided into reflection clusters R and transmission clusters T according to their transmission direction characteristics. Space division multiple access (SDMA) is used within each cluster. The overall decoding order of the cluster is determined by combining the average path loss difference of each cluster. By using serial interference cancellation (SIC) between clusters, mutual interference between the STAR-RIS transmission cluster and the reflection cluster is eliminated, thereby reducing the complexity of multi-cluster SIC and the impact of error propagation on system performance.

[0084] Step 2: Construct a non-convex joint optimization model with the goal of maximizing system and rate. Introduce auxiliary variables to transform the original problem into a tractable form. Adopt an alternating optimization framework to decompose the problem into three sub-problems: base station-side minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalizer optimization, user transmit power control, and active STAR-RIS beamforming design, thereby reducing the overall solution difficulty.

[0085] Step 3: In the solution process, to improve solvability and convergence: equalizer optimization adopts MMSE closed expression to obtain the optimal receive vector; transmit power control adopts continuous convex approximation method to handle non-convex constraints and make subproblems convex to solve; for the phase shift and amplification coefficient of active STAR-RIS element, a sequential rotation strategy is adopted to discretize and search for the optimal phase, and the amplitude coefficient is normalized under the total amplification power constraint, so that the final joint optimization achieves the maximum sum rate.

[0086] The active STAR-RIS-assisted uplink MIMO-NOMA system model described in step 1 is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the base station is equipped with M antennas, and each user is equipped with a single antenna. All users are distributed in two areas adjacent to the primary STAR-RIS, and the users in each area form a cluster, denoted by cluster R and cluster T. It is assumed that all user clusters are blocked by buildings and cannot communicate directly with the base station, and an active STAR-RIS operating on a mode switching protocol is deployed to assist communication between the base station and users. The STAR-RIS consists of... It consists of several active components, wherein the signal of cluster R is composed of Each active element reflects, while the signal of cluster T is generated by...

Similarly, the channel vector between STAR-RIS and the base station is... , represented as:

[0098]

[0099]

[0100] in, These are intra-group interferences, namely , Similarly, Inter-group interference, respectively Therefore, the total system speed is given by the following equation:

[0101]

[0102] Steps 2 and 3 maximize the overall system speed through the joint optimization of three subproblems. Due to the use of an active STAR-RIS amplifier, STAR-RIS amplification power constraints and component amplitude coefficient constraints need to be introduced. The optimization problem is formulated as follows: :

[0103]

[0104]

[0105]

[0106]

[0109] Among them, constraint (10) limits the amplification power of the active STAR-RIS, constraint (11) limits the maximum transmit power of each user, constraint (12) guarantees the service quality of each user, constraint (13) guarantees the requirement of base station power normalization, and constraint (14) limits the amplitude coefficient of each active STAR-RIS unit.

[0110] Due to the non-convex constraints, problem (P1) is difficult to solve directly. To make it easier to handle, we introduce... This transforms problem (P1) into problem (P2):

Specifically, the equalizer at the base station, the power control at the user, and the beamforming at STAR-RIS are iteratively optimized until convergence is achieved.

[0124]

[0125]

[0126]

[0127]

[0128]

[0129] Since constraint (28) is non-convex, it can be rewritten in a more manageable form as follows:

[0130]

[0131] in , Observe that inequality (29) is still nonconvex because the first term on the right-hand side of inequality (29) is quasi-concave. To address the nonconvexity, we use a convex upper bound approximation and introduce variables. The first term on the right side of inequality (29) can be rewritten as:

[0146] in It's component interference plus noise at the base station. , .

[0147] Following the cluster-based design sequence, the phase shift is designed first. Then, inter-cluster interference from cluster T is constructed and passed to cluster R for phase shift design, and so on. For each phase shift matrix, this invention proposes a sequential phase shift method to solve the problem. The first phase shift of active STAR-RIS devices The results of the next iteration are as follows:

[0148]

[0149] The rotation matrix for the nth phase shift is defined as follows: At the same time, if ,mold The rotational phase shift still belongs to the set Definition of the first The solution for the second rotation is Then we can get:

For the _ _ Each element has a corresponding weight defined as... Accordingly, constraint (8) can be expressed as To satisfy this constraint, we first obtain an unnormalized solution. The final coefficients are determined by applying a normalization factor, i.e.

[0167]

[0168] To verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, the following schemes were compared: (1) Intra-cluster SIC + Active STAR-RIS: Active STAR-RIS is deployed in a MIMO-NOMA system with intra-cluster SIC; (2) Inter-cluster SIC + Passive STAR-RIS: Passive STAR-RIS is deployed in a MIMO-NOMA system with inter-cluster SIC; (3) Inter-cluster SIC + Random Phase Shift: Random phase shift is used in an inter-cluster SIC MIMO-NOMA system assisted by Active STAR-RIS.

[0169] The total power budgets for active STAR-RIS and passive STAR-RIS are respectively , ,in For the transmit power of all users, This refers to the power consumption of the phase-shifting switches and control circuitry in the STAR-RIS unit. The DC bias power used by the amplifier in each unit. To ensure fairness in the comparison, all schemes are evaluated under the same total power budget. Other specific simulation parameter settings are as follows: M=4, , , , D=10 , and .

[0170] Figure 2The relationship between system sum rate and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is presented. Simulation results show that the sum rate of the proposed scheme is superior to other schemes. Compared with scheme (1), it can be seen that the proposed scheme achieves a higher system sum rate at the same SNR, which is due to the joint design in each cluster to support the implementation of SDMA. Compared with scheme (1), the sum rate of the proposed scheme is improved by about 6 b / s / Hz at 20dB, which is because the active STAR-RIS is more flexible in terms of signal amplification and phase control. Compared with scheme (3), the proposed scheme has a significant improvement in sum rate due to the optimization of phase and amplitude.

[0171] Figure 3 The trend of the sum rate as a function of the number of reconfigurable elements in the STAR-RIS is presented. Simulation results show that the sum rate of all schemes increases with the number of array elements. This phenomenon is due to the fact that the addition of elements provides greater freedom for control, which can effectively alleviate the double fading in the cascaded BS-STAR-RIS-user link. Notably, at the same SNR, the sum rate obtained by the proposed scheme is consistently higher than that of the in-cluster SIC scheme and the passive STAR-RIS scheme, and this advantage is more pronounced at higher SNRs.

[0172] In summary, this invention proposes an inter-cluster SIC method to improve the sum rate for active STAR-RIS-assisted uplink MIMO-NOMA systems. Active STAR-RIS can effectively overcome the double fading effect by adjusting the phase shift and amplitude of the electromagnetic waves. An alternating optimization framework is proposed to solve the described non-convex problem, where user power is controlled by a continuous convex approximation, and active STAR-RIS beamforming is achieved through sequential rotation. Simulation results show that, compared with other benchmark schemes, the active STAR-RIS-assisted MIMO-NOMA system based on inter-cluster SIC achieves a higher sum rate.
