Abstract
Integrating simultaneous reflecting and transmitting intelligent omini-surfaces (STAR-IOS) with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) brings necessary spatial 360$^{\circ }$ coverage and high spectral efficiency for wireless communication networks. However, electromagnetic interference (EMI) inevitably exists in such networks, and its impact on system performance is often overlooked. In this paper, we investigate a downlink STAR-IOS-assisted NOMA network with EMI, and derive closed-form expressions for the outage probability of paired NOMA devices based on three STAR-IOS protocols, namely, the energy splitting protocol, the time switching protocol, and the mode switching protocol. Moreover, to further enhance performance, we employ a gradient projection method to mitigate the impact of EMI. The numerical results show that the EMI negatively impacts the outage performance of devices, especially for the near device in the NOMA pair. In addition, the gradient projection method improves outage performance by adjusting the phase of STAR-IOS based on EMI statistics.
期刊介绍:
The scope of the Transactions is threefold (which was approved by the IEEE Periodicals Committee in 1967) and is published on the journal website as follows: Communications: The use of mobile radio on land, sea, and air, including cellular radio, two-way radio, and one-way radio, with applications to dispatch and control vehicles, mobile radiotelephone, radio paging, and status monitoring and reporting. Related areas include spectrum usage, component radio equipment such as cavities and antennas, compute control for radio systems, digital modulation and transmission techniques, mobile radio circuit design, radio propagation for vehicular communications, effects of ignition noise and radio frequency interference, and consideration of the vehicle as part of the radio operating environment. Transportation Systems: The use of electronic technology for the control of ground transportation systems including, but not limited to, traffic aid systems; traffic control systems; automatic vehicle identification, location, and monitoring systems; automated transport systems, with single and multiple vehicle control; and moving walkways or people-movers. Vehicular Electronics: The use of electronic or electrical components and systems for control, propulsion, or auxiliary functions, including but not limited to, electronic controls for engineer, drive train, convenience, safety, and other vehicle systems; sensors, actuators, and microprocessors for onboard use; electronic fuel control systems; vehicle electrical components and systems collision avoidance systems; electromagnetic compatibility in the vehicle environment; and electric vehicles and controls.
