  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR USER DISTRIBUTION TO SUB BANDS IN NOMA SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20180176815
    Abstract: A mechanism for attributing users to a plurality of sub bands in a time slot t in a multiple access communications system, said method comprising assigning a combination of users to a sub band on a Proportional Fairness basis, that is to say whichever combination of users maximizes a Proportional Fairness performance metric for that channel, where the performance metric is weighted by a weighting factor reflecting the difference for that user between a target throughput and a projected throughput.

  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR POWER AND USER DISTRIBUTION TO SUB-BANDS IN NOMA SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20180027507
    Abstract: Power allocation in NOMA systems for example on the basis Proportional Fairness calculations depends on knowledge of user throughput on a specified sub-band, which implies that users have already been allocated to particular sub-bands. Meanwhile, maximum throughput can generally be achieved where there is the greatest possible difference in transmission power for the users on a given sub-band, so that optimal allocation of users to sub-bands requires knowledge of the power available for each user.
