Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the downlink transmissions in wireless backhaul (WB) networks when unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are used as flying small cell base stations. We propose to employ the non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) on the WB transmissions and introduce a novel cooperative transmission scheme for the wireless access links. Then, we formulate an optimization problem which jointly determines the radio resource allocation at the macro cell base station (MBS) and UAVs along with the optimization of the decoding order of the NOMA process and the positions of the UAVs in space to maximize the sum achievable rate of all users. The formulated problem is a general mixed integer non-convex program, which is very difficult to solve optimally within a polynomial time. Therefore, we propose a framework based on the method of difference of convex program characterized by the Lipschitz continuity to transform and approximate the original problem into a series of convex approximate ones and develop a low-complexity algorithm to sequentially solve for each approximate problem until convergence. Numerical evaluation and analysis show that our achieved solution, under the proposed framework and developed algorithm, can outperform the other schemes which aim at either optimizing without using cooperative NOMA or do not optimize the UAVs' positions.
