QoE-Based Resource Allocation for Multi-Cell NOMA Networks

Quality of experience (QoE) is an important indicator in the fifth generation (5G) wireless communication systems. For characterizing user-base station (BS) association, subchannel assignment, and power allocation, we investigate the resource allocation problem in multi-cell multicarrier non-orthogonal multiple access (MC-NOMA) networks. An optimization problem is formulated with the objective of maximizing the sum mean opinion scores (MOSs) of...
