The problem of resource allocation in multicarrier non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems is non-deterministic polynomial time (NP)-hard and requires exhaustive search, which has prohibitive computational complexity. Computationally-efficient algorithms that provide a performance close to optimal are needed. In this paper, the problem of resource allocation is divided into two sub-problems, namely subcarrier assignment and power allocation. The optimal users’ channel condition relationship is derived in terms of effective system sum-rate, and a computationally-efficient ideal partner search algorithm (IPSA) is proposed. Further, optimal power allocation (OPA) is studied in terms of fairness, and an OPA coefficient is theoretically derived based on the channel condition ratio of two NOMA users. Numerical results show that IPSA with OPA outperforms IPSA with fractional transmit power allocation (FTPA), the strongest user-weakest user (SUWU) scheme and user grouping (UG) in terms of achievable system effective sum-rate, average user bit error rate (BER) and number of users with a poor BER. Further, the computational complexity of IPSA with OPA is much lower than that of exhaustive search.
