The invention provides an uplink
MIMO-
NOMA (
Multiple Input Multiple Output-Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access)
system optimization method with a maximized sum rate, which comprises the following steps: firstly, in order to suppress interference between a transmission cluster and a reflection cluster, providing an inter-cluster SIC method: clustering users according to transmission characteristics, adopting
space division multiple access in each cluster, and performing inter-cluster SIC of
NOMA transmission so as to reduce the interference between the clusters; secondly, a non-convex
optimization problem aiming at maximizing the total rate of the
system is formulated and solved by using an alternating optimization framework, in the framework, a receiving
equalizer is optimized according to a
minimum mean square error standard, and transmitting
power control of a user is processed through successive convex approximation, so that sub-problems are easy to process; and finally, the beam forming of the active STAR-RIS adopts a sequential rotation design. According to the invention, the dual-
fading effect is effectively overcome by adjusting the phase shift and amplitude of electromagnetic
waves, an alternating optimization framework is also provided to solve the described non-convex problem, user power is controlled through continuous convex approximation, and active STAR-RIS beam forming is realized through sequential rotation.
