Abstract

In this paper, we investigate distributed subchannel allocation problem in small cell network (SCN) with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) enhancement. Different from existing studies, we exploit NOMA for the purpose of mitigating aggregate inter-cell and intra-cell interference. The problem is analyzed through a locally cooperative game model, in which information is exchanged only among neighboring small cell base stations (SBSs) instead of all SBSs in the SCN. The existence of Nash equilibrium (NE) is confirmed by proving the formulated game as an exact potential game, which allows the application of best response algorithm to solve the problem locally or globally. It is shown that the aggregate interference can be more efficiently suppressed in the NOMA system, compared with traditional orthogonal multiple access (OMA) system. Furthermore, as the network grows denser, higher percentage of SBSs have the incentive to multiplex users via the NOMA technique, revealing the superiority of NOMA over OMA in future ultra dense network.
