A High-Diversity Transceiver Design for MISO Broadcast Channels
In this paper, the outage behavior and diversity order of the mixture
transceiver architecture for multiple-input single-output broadcast channels
are analyzed. The mixture scheme groups users with closely-aligned channels and
applies superposition coding and successive interference cancellation decoding
to each group composed of users with closely-aligned channels, while applying
zero-forcing beamforming across semi-orthogonal user groups. In order to enable
such analysis, closed-form lower bounds on the achievable rates of a general
multiple-input single-output broadcast channel with superposition coding and
successive interference cancellation are newly derived. By employing
channel-adaptive user grouping and proper power allocation, which ensures that
the channel subspaces of user groups have angle larger than a certain
threshold, it is shown that the mixture transceiver architecture achieves full
diversity order in multiple-input single-output broadcast channels and
opportunistically increases the multiplexing gain while achieving full
diversity order. Furthermore, the achieved full diversity order is the same as
that of the single-user maximum ratio transmit beamforming. Hence, the mixture
scheme can provide reliable communication under channel fading for
ultra-reliable low latency communication. Numerical results validate our
analysis and show the outage superiority of the mixture scheme over
conventional transceiver designs for multiple-input single-output broadcast
channels.Comment: The inner region is evaluated. The single-group SIC performance is

Investigation on Evolving Single-Carrier NOMA into Multi-Carrier NOMA in 5G
© 2013 IEEE. Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is one promising technology, which provides high system capacity, low latency, and massive connectivity, to address several challenges in the fifth-generation wireless systems. In this paper, we first reveal that the NOMA techniques have evolved from single-carrier NOMA (SC-NOMA) into multi-carrier NOMA (MC-NOMA). Then, we comprehensively investigated on the basic principles, enabling schemes and evaluations of the two most promising MC-NOMA techniques, namely sparse code multiple access (SCMA) and pattern division multiple access (PDMA). Meanwhile, we consider that the research challenges of SCMA and PDMA might be addressed with the stimulation of the advanced and matured progress in SC-NOMA. Finally, yet importantly, we investigate the emerging applications, and point out the future research trends of the MC-NOMA techniques, which could be straightforwardly inspired by the various deployments of SC-NOMA
