Abstract
Non-orthogonal multiple access principle applied in power domain
(power-domain NOMA) enhances spectrum efficiency and connectivity of
mobile communication systems through sharing between Orthogonal Multiple
Access (OMA) and other multiple users. It is the almost main current
trend for research and standards for 5G and beyond. Spectrum sharing
generates multi-users interference (Multiple Access Interference, MAI)
which destroys orthogonality in OMA systems. Meanwhile the so-called
Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) techniques are used to
suppress MAI and the Cognitive Radio (CR) principle (CR-NOMA) for
decoding order for multiple users inspired effective SIC algorithms. The
CR-NOMA principle is applied in the present material as well, but with
significant changes for SIC design as for Doubly Selective channels. Due
to the above reasons, two original SIC design methods are proposed
hereafter following the CR-NOMA principle. Regarding to it the OMA
signal (primary user) is decoded first using a Chaos-based quasi-optimum
Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). The set of “secondary users”
(multiusers) are proposed to be decoded secondly by the following two
different methods:
- Chaos-based EKF filters or ,
- Sequential m hypothesis testing.
The proposed approach for SIC design is rather simple, fast and accurate
for practical implementation.
