Design of OFDM-IM system based on IRS-assisted by Mengmeng ZHAO, Liming HE, Fangfang LIU

“…Index modulation (IM) and intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) are emerging mobile communication technologies.In order to improve the reliability of traditional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with index modulation (OFDM-IM) system based on IRS-assisted was designed.Firstly, the OFDM-IM system was designed by using spatial modulation and frequency domain modulation to increase the Euclidean distance between subcarriers.Then, by establishing an equivalent circuit model, a practical IRS model was obtained.Finally, an alternating optimization algorithm was used to optimize the active transmission power of the access point (AP) and passive beamforming of the IRS jointly.The simulation results show that compared to the benchmark scheme, the symbol error rate (SER) or bit error rate (BER) of the OFDM-IM system based on IRS-assisted can be reduced by 60%～90%.Especially in the case of high signal-to-noise ratio, the SER or BER of the system can reach 1.0×10^-6, which indicates that the introduction of IM and IRS technologies has optimized the link transmission quality of end-to-end communication system.In addition, based on the IRS-assisted OFDM-IM system as the standard, simulations are conducted to demonstrate the impact of various parameters from the IRS model and IM.It concludes that the parameters in the system should be selected reasonably according to channel state information (CSI).…”

Optimal relay selection for full duplex SWIPT-NOMA systems with maximal throughput by Taoshen LI, Anni SHI, Zhe WANG, Lu HE

“…To improve the performance of 5G communication system, a full duplex Internet of things (IoT) relay system model was built by introducing the non-orthogonal multi-access (NOMA) technology.For the relay system of simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), it was considered that the relay node can harvest the energy of the source node, the self-interference signal of the loop channel and the free energy access point (EAP), and NOMA technology was used to forward the source node signal and its own signal to different destination nodes.Based on the model, a power distribution collaboration SWIPT relay selection strategy was proposed to optimize system throughput.Firstly, the problem model was established based on the constraints of communication quality of service and transmission power of source nodes.And then, the original nonlinear 0-1 programming problem was converted into a pair of coupling optimization problem by mathematical transformation, and the optimal relay selection of outer optimization problem was solved based on the optimal solution of the internal optimization problem.Finally, an optimal relay selection algorithm was used to maximize system throughput.Simulation results show that the proposed model and strategy are superior to the traditional maximum-minimum relay selection schemes in terms of throughput gain, and the consideration of EAP can significantly improve the interrupt performance.…”
