In this paper, we study a class of minimum-energy scheduling problems in non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems. NOMA is adopted to enable efficient channel utilization and interference mitigation, such that base stations can consume minimal energy to empty their queued data in presence of transmission deadlines, and each user can obtain all the requested data timely. Due to the high computational complexity in resource scheduling and the stringent execution-time constraints in practical systems, providing a time-efficient and high-quality solution to 5G real-time systems is challenging. The conventional iterative optimization approaches may exhibit their limitations in supporting online optimization. We herein explore a viable alternative and develop a learning-assisted optimization framework to improve the computational efficiency while retaining competitive energy-saving performance. The idea is to …
