SCMA High-Dimensional Codebook Design Based on VBR-GAM by Xu DENG, Ke CHU, Lidong ZHU

“…At the physical layer, sparse code multiple access (SCMA) technology is used to solve the problem of massive user access.In the current research on SCMA, in addition to the research on SCMA multi-user detection technology, more attention will be paid to the design of SCMA system codebooks.SCMA codebook with good performance can not only improve its anti noise performance in the process of multi-user detection, but also reduce the detection complexity.The traditional codebook design scheme is mainly researched on low-dimensional codebooks, and most of the designed codebook schemes are based on QAM, TCM, and Lattice, while few people have set foot in and studied high-dimensional codebooks.A new codebook design - Golden Angle Modulation (GAM) was mainly focused on, and on this basis, proposed a Variable Bit Rate (VBR) GAM codebook design method.The simulation results showed that the VBR-GAM codebook could fl exibly met the needs of diff erent services.With the increased of the modulation order, the VBR-GAM codebook had better performance than the traditional GAM codebook.…”

Research on resource allocation algorithm of centralized and distributed Q-learning in machine communication by Yunhe YU, Jun SUN

“…Under the premise of ensuring partial machine type communication device (MTCD)’s quality of service (QoS) requirements, the resource allocation problem was studied with the goal of maximizing system throughput in the massive machine type communication (mMTC) scenario.Two resource allocation algorithms based on Q-learning were proposed: centralized Q-learning algorithm (team-Q) and distributed Q-learning algorithm (dis-Q).Firstly, taking into account MTCD’s geographic location and multi-level QoS requirements, a clustering algorithm based on cosine similarity (CS) was designed.In the clustering algorithm, multi-dimensional vectors that represent MTCD and data aggregator (DA) were constructed, and MTCDs can be grouped according to the CS value between multi-dimensional vectors.Then in the MTC network, the team-Q learning algorithm and dis-Q learning algorithm were used to allocate resource blocks and power for the MTCD.In terms of throughput performance, team-Q and dis-Q algorithms have an average increase of 16% and 23% compared to the dynamic resource allocation algorithm and the greedy algorithm, respectively.In terms of complexity performance, the dis-Q algorithm is only 25% of team-Q algorithm and even below, the convergence speed is increased by nearly 40%.…”
