Abstract: A power allocation scheme to maximize energy efficiency is proposed for downlink non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA)system with multiple clusters and each cluster containing arbitrarily user. Firstly,the minimum powers required for a single user and a single cluster are derived to meet successive interference cancellation. The optimization problem of power allocation among users is established to maximize the energy efficiency of the system. Then,the power allocation optimization problem of maximizing the energy efficiency of a single cluster is solved by using bisection method. Based on this conclusion,the optimization problem of power allocation among users to maximize the energy efficiency of the system is transformed into the optimization problem of power allocation among clusters. Finally,the power for each user is obtained according to the inter-cluster power allocation,which is get by an iterative scheme. Simulations show that the energy efficiency of the proposed scheme is better than that of the existing scheme in the same scenario.

Key words: non-orthogonal multiple access, energy efficiency, successive interference cancellation, bisection method, power allocation
