비-직교 다중접속 (NOMA: Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access)는 5G 네트워크를 위한 유망한 후보 기술이다. NOMA는 여러 사용자가 동일한 시간과 주파수 자원을 사용하기 때문에 기존의 직교 다중 접속 (OMA: Orthogonal Multiple Access) 기술보다 개선된 주파수 효율을 갖는다. Multiple-Input-multiple-output (MIMO)는 시스템 성능을 향상 시킬 수 있는 또 다른 유망한 기술이다. 본 논문에서 우리는 다중 안테나 기반의 NOMA기법의 주파수 및 에너지 효율을 다룬다. 제안된 기법에서 셀 외각 사용자는 공간 영역 (Spatial Domain)에서 다중화되고, 이것은 셀 외각 유저가 송신 안테나 인덱스를 이용하여 정보를 전송한다는 것을 의미한다. NOMA에서 셀외각 사용자의 성능은 다른 사용자의 신호로 부터 많은 영향을 받는데, 이때 다른 사용자의 신호는 잡음으로 작용한다. 제안된 기법은 기존의 NOMA에 비해 향상된 주파수 효율을 가진다. 셀 외각 사용자를 공간 영역에서 다중화함으로써 NOMA 신호의 복호 단계를 감소시킬 수 있기 때문이다. 또한, 제안된 기법은 기존의 NOMA 보다 뛰어난 에너지 효율을 갖는다. 주파수 및 에너지 효율, 복호 과정의 간소화는 기지국(Base Station)에서 다중 송신 안테나를 사용함으로 인해 얻게 된다.

This paper considers a cellular two-way relay network with one base station (BS), one relay station (RS), and two users. The two users are far from the BS and no direct links exist, and the two users exchange messages with the BS via the RS. A non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and network coding (NC)-based decode-and-forward (DF) two-way relaying (TWR) scheme TWR-NOMA-NC is proposed, which is able to reduce the number of channel-uses to three from four in conventional time-division multiple access (TDMA) based TWR approaches. The achievable sum-rate performance of the proposed approach is analyzed, and a closed-form expression for the sum-rate upper bound is derived. Numerical results show that the analytical sum-rate upper bound is tight, and the proposed TWR-NOMA-NC scheme significantly outperforms the TDMA-based TWR and NOMA-based one-way relaying counterparts.

In this work, the secrecy of a typical wireless cooperative dual-hop non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-enabled decode-and-forward (DF) relay network is investigated with the impact of collaborative and non-collaborative eavesdropping. The system model consists of a source that broadcasts the multiplexed signal to two NOMA users via a DF relay, and information security against the eavesdropper nodes is provided by a helpful jammer. The performance metric is secrecy rate and ergodic secrecy capacity is approximated analytically. In addition, a differential evolution algorithm-based power allocation scheme is proposed to find the optimal power allocation factors for relay, jammer, and NOMA users by employing different jamming schemes. Furthermore, the secrecy rate analysis is validated at the NOMA users by adopting different jamming schemes such as without jamming (WJ) or conventional relaying, jamming (J), and with control jamming (CJ). Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of CJ over the J and WJ schemes. Finally, the proposed power allocation outperforms the fixed power allocation under all conditions considered in this work.

This paper investigates the effect of hardware impairments (HIs) and imperfect channel state information (ICSI) on a SWIPT-assisted adaptive nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA)/orthogonal multiple access (OMA) system over independent and nonidentical Rayleigh fading channels. In the NOMA mode, the energy-constrained near users act as a relay to improve the performance for the far users. The OMA transmission mode is adopted to avoid a complete outage when NOMA is infeasible. The best user selection scheme is considered to maximize the energy harvested and avoid error propagation. To characterize the performance of the proposed systems, closed-form and asymptotic expressions of the outage probability for both near and far users are studied. Moreover, exact and approximate expressions of the ergodic rate for near and far users are investigated. Simulation results are provided to verify our theoretical analysis and confirm the superiority of the proposed NOMA/OMA scheme in comparison with the conventional NOMA and OMA protocol with/without HIs and ICSI.

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a technique that forms a NOMA group composed of two or more users and transmits the superimposed signals of all users in the group through a single beam. In case all users in a NOMA group fall within the main lobe, a high data rate is guaranteed. However, in case not all users in the group fall within the main lobe due to the narrow beam width, the sum data rate decreases, and the data rate disparity between users inside and outside the main lobe widens significantly, leading to reduced fairness. On the other hand, an excessively wide beam might reduce the channel gain which lowers the sum data rate. This paper discusses the effects of beam configuration on the throughput and fairness performances of the NOMA system in the millimeter wave channel environments with simulation results for various channel parameters including the number of antennas and beam directions.

NOMA (Non-orthogonal multiple access) 시스템은 5세대 이동통신 시스템에서 요구하는 스펙트럼 효율과 시스템 성능을 만족시키는 유력한 다중화 기술이다. NOMA 시스템은 전력 도메인에서 여러 사용자를 동시에 전송하는데, 타 사용자들로 부터의 간섭을 제거하기 위하여 수신기에 SIC (Successive interference cancellation)를 채택하고 있다. 그러나 현실적으로 무선 페이딩 채널의 특성상 완벽한 SIC가 불가능하므로, SIC 에러가 NOMA 시스템에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 매우 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 SIC 에러가 존재할 때 협동 NOMA 시스템을 대상으로 하여 시스템의 오수신율을 해석적으로 유도하였고, 오수신율을 최소화하기 위한 최적의 전력할당을 구하였다. 또한 송신전력이 고정되었을 경우 SIC 에러에 따른 기지국과 릴레이 사이의 거리도 검토하였다. 유도한 결과는 Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교하여 정확히 일치함을 확인하였다.

The fifth generation (5G) mobile communication has been more commercialized worldwide. One of the promising 5G technologies is non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). We present the achievable sum rate of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with correlated superposition coding (SC). Then this paper investigates the impacts of correlation on the achievable sum rate of correlated SC NOMA. It is shown that the achievable sum rate of correlated SC NOMA is greater than that of standard independent SC NOMA, for the most of the values of the power allocation factor over the meaningful range of the user fairness. In result, correlated SC could be a promising scheme for NOMA.

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been recognized as a significant technology in the fifth generation (5G) and beyond mobile communication, which encompasses the advanced smart convergence of the artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT). In NOMA, since the channel resources are shared by many users, it is essential to establish the user fairness. Such fairness is achieved by the power allocation among the users, and in turn, the less power is allocated to the stronger channel users. Especially, the first and second strong channel users have to share the extremely small amount of power. In this paper, we consider the power optimization for the two users with the small power. First, the closed-form expression for the power allocation is derived and then the results are validated by the numerical results. Furthermore, with the derived analytical expression, for the various channel environments, the optimal power allocation is investigated and the impact of the channel gain difference on the power allocation is analyzed.

As the number of connected smart devices and applications increases explosively, the existing orthogonal multiple access (OMA) techniques have become insufficient to accommodate mobile traffic, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT). Fortunately, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in the fifth generation (5G) mobile networks has been regarded as a promising solution, owing to increased spectral efficiency and massive connectivity. In this paper, we investigate the achievable data rate for non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with negatively-correlated information sources (CIS). For this, based on the linear transformation of independent random variables (RV), we derive the closed-form expressions for the achievable data rates of NOMA with negatively-CIS. Then it is shown that the achievable data rate of the negatively-CIS NOMA increases for the stronger channel user, whereas the achievable data rate of the negatively-CIS NOMA decreases for the weaker channel user, compared to that of the positively-CIS NOMA for the stronger or weaker channel users, respectively. We also show that the sum rate of the negatively-CIS NOMA is larger than that of the positively-CIS NOMA. As a result, the negatively-CIS could be more efficient than the positively-CIS, when we transmit CIS over 5G NOMA networks.

We propose a spectral-efficient coordinated direct and relayed transmission (CDRT) scheme for a relay-assisted downlink system with two users. The proposed scheme is based on backscatter communication (BC) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique. With the proposed BC-NOMA-CDRT scheme, both users can receive one packet within one time slot. In contrast, in existing NOMA-CDRT schemes, the far user is only able to receive one packet in two time slots due to the half-duplex operation of the relay. We investigate the outage of the BC-NOMA-CDRT scheme, and derive the outage probability expressions in closed-form based on Gamma distribution approximation and Gaussian approximation. Numerical results show that the analytical results are accurate and the BC-NOMA-CDRT scheme outperforms the conventional NOMA-CDRT significantly.
