A Lightweight Machine Learning Assisted Power Optimization for Minimum Error in NOMA-CRS Over Nakagami-$m$ Channels

Non-orthogonal multiple access based cooperative relaying system (NOMA-CRS) has been proposed to alleviate the decay in spectral efficiency of the conventional CRS. However, existing NOMA-CRS studies assume perfect successive interference canceler at the relay and mostly investigate sum rate whereas the error performance has not been taken into consideration. In this paper, we analyze error performance of the NOMA-CRS and the closed-form bit error probability (BEP) expression is derived over Nakagami-m fading channels. Then, thanks to the high performance of machine learning (ML) in challenging optimization problems, a joint power sharing-power allocation (PS-PA) scheme is proposed to minimize the bit error rate (BER) of the NOMA-CRS. The proposed ML-assisted optimization has a very low online implementation complexity. Based on provided extensive simulations, theoretical BEP analysis is validated. Besides, the proposed ML-aided PS-PA provides minimum BER (MBER) and outperforms previous PA strategies for the NOMA-CRS notably.
