NOMA-Based Energy-Efficient Wireless Powered Communications

Spectral and Energy Efficient Wireless Powered IoT Networks: NOMA or TDMA?

Wireless powered communication networks (WPCNs), where multiple energy-limited devices first harvest energy in the downlink and then transmit information in the uplink, have been envisioned as a promising solution for the future Internet-of-Things (IoT). Meanwhile, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been proposed to improve the system spectral efficiency (SE) of the fifth-generation (5G)...

Energy-Efficient D2D Communications Underlaying NOMA-Based Networks with Energy Harvesting

This letter investigates the resource allocation problem in device-to-device (D2D) communications underlaying a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-based cellular network, where both cellular users and D2D users harvest energy from the hybrid access point in the downlink and transmit information in the uplink. We propose a low-complexity iterative algorithm to maximize the energy efficiency o...

energy-efficient resource allocation in noma-based hcn systems

in this paper, the energy efficient resource allocation in noma-based heterogeneous cellular network(hcn) systems is investigated. since energy consumption and its limitations is one of the important challenges in fifth generation of cellular networks (5g), we propose a resource allocation problem which allocates power and subcarriers to multiple users to achieve the best system energy efficien...

Energy-efficient design in wireless communications networks

Toward Energy-Efficient 5G Wireless Communications Technologies

The densification and expansion of wireless networks pose new challenges on energy efficiency. With a drastic increase of infrastructure nodes (e.g. ultra-dense deployment of small cells), the total energy consumption may easily exceed an acceptable level. While most studies focus on the energy radiated by the antennas, the bigger part of the total energy budget is actually consumed by the hard...
