Résumé :
[en] In this manuscript, we propose an energy-efficient optimization framework for a multi-cluster simultaneous transmitting and reflecting intelligent reflecting surfaces (STAR-IRS) enabled time-division multiple-access (TDMA) based hybrid-NOMA system to realize the future sixth-generation (6G) wireless communication systems. Specifically, the energy-efficiency maximization is achieved by optimizing the successive-interference cancellation (SIC) decoding order, time-allocation, and active-beamforming vectors at the transmitter, as well as transmission and reflection coefficients at the STAR-IRS under quality-of-service (QoS), conservation of energy, time-allocation, phase-shifts, and SIC-decoding constraints. Moreover, the proposed alternating optimization algorithm tackles the considered highly non-convex optimization problem in four steps. In first step, for computing the SIC-decoding order of NOMA users, an efficient optimization technique is proposed which maximizes the sum of combined channel gains by optimizing the transmission and reflection beamforming vectors of the considered STAR-IRS assisted hybrid-NOMA system. Further, in second step, an optimal time-allocation for each cluster in transmission and reflection region is computed for given SIC-decoding order. With decoding order and time-allocation in hand, active-beamforming vectors are computed by exploiting the sequential-convex approximation (SCA) and second-order-conic programming (SOCP) in third step. Finally, in the fourth step, the transmission and reflection coefficients of STAR-IRS are computed by transforming the non-convex optimization problem into a semi-definite programming (SDP) problem. Th numerical simulation results demonstrate that the proposed optimization framework exhibits an efficient energy efficiency performance and converges within a few iterations.
