In this paper, we consider a hybrid scheme of coordinated multi-point (CoMP) technology in MISO heterogeneous communication networks based on power domain non-orthogonal multiple access (PD-NOMA). We propose a novel method based on matching game with externalities to realize the hybrid scheme where the number of the cooperative nodes are variable. Moreover, we propose a new matching utility function to manage the interference caused by CoMP and NOMA techniques. We also devise robust beamforming to cope with the channel uncertainty. In this regard, we focus on both no CSI and partial CSI cases to increase the achievable data rate. We provide the complexity analysis of both schemes which shows that the complexity of the partial CSI approach is more than that of the no CSI method. Results evaluate the performance of proposed CoMP scheme and the sensibility of our methods, Index Terms, CoMP technology, hybrid scheme, matching game with externalities, PD-NOMA, robust beamforming, probabilistic constraint, no CSI, partial CSI.
Authors in @cite_25 , consider an OFDMA network in the uplink transmissions case. They employ a one-to-many matching game theory algorithm for user association and a one-to-one matching game for channel allocation problems. Moreover, the transmission process is assumed in the non-cooperative mode where the CSI is perfectly known. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for hybrid cooperative node association via many-to-many matching game and sub-channel allocation in PD-NOMA-based MISO system via many-to-one matching game based on the general framework of @cite_25 . Unlike the methods in @cite_25 , there are some extra-interferences due to the NOMA and CoMP in our considered network. Moreover, we assume externalities in our matching game to insure stability of our proposed method.

In this paper, we study resource allocation in a downlink OFDMA system assuming imperfect channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter. To achieve the individual QoS of the users in OFDMA system, adaptive resource allocation is very important, and has therefore been an active area of research. However, in most of the the previous work perfect CSI at the transmitter is assumed which is rarely possible due to channel estimation error and feedback delay. In this paper, we study the effect of channel estimation error on resource allocation in a downlink OFDMA system. We assume that each user terminal estimates its channel by using an MMSE estimator and sends its CSI back to the base station through a feedback channel. We approach the problem by using convex optimization framework, provide an explicit closed form expression for the users' transmit power and then develop an optimal margin adaptive resource allocation algorithm. Our proposed algorithm minimizes the total transmit power of the system subject to constraints on users' average data rate. The algorithm has polynomial complexity and solves the problem with zero optimality gaps. Simulation results show that our algorithm highly improves the system performance in the presence of imperfect channel estimation.
