Abstract

In this work, a microstrip patch antenna with an inset feed and defected ground structure (DGS) is designed at the resonant frequency of 2.45 GHz. The antenna is designed on a FR-4 substrate with a dielectric constant, εr of 4.5, loss tangent, tan δ of 0.019 and thickness, h of 1.6 mm. The technique of DGS is used to avoid the use of additional circuits in the antenna to suppress the harmonics. By introducing a single and additional slots DGS at both ends on the antenna ground plane, the proposed microstrip patch antenna is able to suppress the higher order harmonics. The reflection coefficient, S11 is -38.75 dB at 2.45 GHz. The proposed antenna have suppressed the higher order harmonics effectively from -38.04 dB to -2.61 dB at 4.54 GHz and from -13.08 dB to -1.38 dB at 5.76 GHz. The prototype of the antenna is fabricated for the verification of the design. The simulated and measured results are found to be in a good agreement.

Abstract

In coordinated multipoint (CoMP) system, the cell-edge performance is improved by minimizing inter-cell interference (ICI) through coordination of resources. Additionally, the non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been introduced as a promising candidate to further enhance the throughput of next generation wireless communication systems. NOMA allows multiple users to access the wireless channel in the same bandwidth simultaneously, however at different transmit power. In joint transmission NOMA in CoMP (JT-NOMA-CoMP), multiple cells jointly transmit data to users using the same time-frequency resources, which significantly improves the system performance. In this paper, we present a low-complexity user clustering and resource allocation strategy in downlink JP-NOMA-CoMP system with multiple antenna. Based on computer simulation, we show that the proposed approach outperforms the conventional JP-OMA-CoMP and single antenna JP-NOMA-CoMP in terms of achievable sum rate.
