Joint optimization of energy harvesting and data transmission in SWIPT-enabled hybrid precoding mmWave massive MIMO-NOMA systems
摘要
The integration of millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) significantly enhances spectral efficiency, a critical advancement for fifth-generation (5G) and beyond networks. Energy-constrained devices can harvest energy while decoding information through integrating simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), significantly enhancing overall energy efficiency. However, this integration introduces a fundamental trade-off between energy harvesting and data transmission rates, presenting a critical optimization challenge. This paper explores the intricate trade-off between these two objectives in SWIPT-enabled mmWave massive MIMO-NOMA systems. A joint optimization framework is proposed for power allocation and power splitting (PS) control, aimed at maximizing both harvested energy and total transmission rate while ensuring that user equipment (UE) meets predefined energy and rate thresholds. To address the conflicting objectives, a novel performance metric, termed total achievable throughput (
