Abstract

In this letter, we investigate the fundamental tradeoff between rate and energy for sparse code multiple access (SCMA) networks with wireless power transfer. A weighted rate and energy maximization problem by jointly considering power allocation, codebook assignment, and power splitting, is formulated. To solve the hard problem, an iterative algorithm based on the univariate search technique is proposed, which has good performance with low complexity. Specifically, we analyze the special structure of the problem and exploit it to obtain the optimal power splitting ratio and resource allocation strategy when one of them is fixed. Simulation results indicate that our algorithm achieves a better rate-energy tradeoff compared to other schemes.
