| contents | Pinching antenna system (PASS) configures the positions of pinching antennas (PAs) along dielectric waveguides to change both large-scale fading and small-scale scattering, which is known as pinching beamforming. A novel non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) assisted PASS framework is proposed for downlink multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications. The transmit power minimization problem is formulated to jointly optimize the transmit beamforming, pinching beamforming, and power allocation. To solve this highly nonconvex problem, both gradient-based and swarm-based optimization methods are developed. 1) For gradient-based method, a majorization-minimization and penalty dual decomposition (MM-PDD) algorithm is developed. The Lipschitz gradient surrogate function is constructed based on MM to tackle the nonconvex terms of this problem. Then, the joint optimization problem is decomposed into subproblems that are alternatively optimized based on PDD to obtain stationary closed-form solutions. 2) For swarm-based method, a fast-convergent particle swarm optimization and zero forcing (PSO-ZF) algorithm is proposed. Specifically, the PA position-seeking particles are constructed to explore high-quality pinching beamforming solutions. Moreover, ZF-based transmit beamforming is utilized by each particle for fast fitness function evaluation. Simulation results demonstrate that: i) The proposed NOMA assisted PASS and algorithms outperforms the conventional NOMA assisted massive antenna system. The proposed framework reduces over 95.22% transmit power compared to conventional massive MIMO-NOMA systems. ii) Swarm-based optimization outperforms gradient-based optimization by searching effective solution subspace to avoid stuck in undesirable local optima. |
