Abstract
En 中文
FAS-enabled cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (FAS-CoNOMA) systems capture the potential of fluid antenna systems in enhancing network performance. In this system, a base station (BS) transmits a superposition signal to a central user (CU) and a cell-edge user (EU), both equipped with FAS. Specifically, the CU decodes the signal intended for the EU and cooperatively relays it to improve the EU’s communication performance. The EU employs selective combining (SC) or maximum ratio combining (MRC) to receive signals from both the BS and CU. By leveraging the dynamic properties of FAS to improve user differentiation, the CoNOMA system effectively enhances network performance compared to traditional NOMA, OMA, and fixed position antenna (FPA) systems. To address the challenging spatial correlation properties in FAS, we utilize the block-diagonal matrix approximation (BDMA) model to calculate the outage probabilities for both the CU and EU. We then derive upper bound, lower bound, and asymptotic approximation of the outage probabilities to gain deeper insights. Furthermore, we optimize the EU’s outage probability under the CU’s outage constraint and total transmit power limits by adjusting the power allocation coefficient for the CU and the transmit powers for both the BS and CU. To simplify the optimization process, we reduce the number of variables and apply the alternating optimization (AO) algorithm to break down the problem into two sub-problems. Each sub-problem is solved using the bisection search method and gradient descent algorithm (GDA). Simulation results demonstrate that FAS significantly improves outage performance, especially for the EU, and that CoNOMA notably captures the potential of FAS beyond NOMA and OMA, offering a promising solution for future wireless networks.
