  • Publication number: 20190181910
    Abstract: In a case that a large number of terminal apparatuses that are accommodated by contention-based radio communication technologies share a frequency resource, the number of data signals of the terminal apparatus that are non-orthogonally multiplexed in the spatial domain increases. If terminal apparatuses, of which the number exceeds the number of receive antennas or the spreading factor transmit uplink data at the same time, it is tantamount to a presence of terminal apparatuses using the same spreading code, and inter-user interference becomes a problem.

  • Publication number: 20190165826
    Abstract: In a case that a large number of terminal apparatuses accommodated in a contention based radio communication technology share a frequency resource, the number of data signals of the terminal apparatuses which are non-orthogonally multiplexed in the spatial domain increases. Therefore, in a case that the number of non-orthogonally multiplexed data signals of the terminals is considerably large, residual interference after removing interference in the reception processing degrades transmission performance.
