Deep Learning-based Sum Data Rate and Energy Efficiency Optimization for MIMO-NOMA Systems

In this project, we propose a deep learning-based MIMO-NOMA framework for maximizing the sum data rate and energy efficiency. To be specific, we design an effective communication deep neural network (CDNN) in which several convolutional layers and multiple hidden layers are included. 

Thanks to the impressive representation ability of the deep learning technique, the CDNN framework addresses the power allocation problem for achieving higher data rate and energy efficiency of MIMO-NOMA with the aid of training algorithms. 

Additionally, simulation results corroborate that the proposed CDNN framework is a good candidate to enhance the performance of MIMO-NOMA in term of power allocation, and extensive simulations show that it realizes larger sum data rate and energy efficiency compared with conventional strategies.
