Abstract

A user matching and power distribution methods for a MIMO-NOMA downlink communication system is provided. The user matching method includes: dividing all users into a strong user group and a weak user group according to a channel gain sorting result; and sequentially selecting a user in the strong user group, calculating a correlation coefficient between the user and each user in the weak user group, selecting a weak user with the highest correlation coefficient as a weak user in a cluster where the strong user is located, and excluding matched users from respective user groups, until the matching between all strong users and weak users are completed. The present invention enables weak users in a cluster to experience less inter-cluster interference in scenarios where the channel correlation between users is relatively low, thereby improving the total throughput of the communication system.
