“…Afterwards, SIC is performed per NG, starting with the decoding of the symbol of user u o (see Algorithm 2, where C denotes the transmitted symbol constellation). For example, if K = 4 active users, then U o = {1, 2, 3, 4} and (1,3), (1,4), (2,3), (2,4), (3,4), (2, 1), (3, 1), (4, 1), (3, 2), (4, 2), (4,3) . Considering now 2 NGs, then if for example in the first iteration the set (2,3) of MSs maximizes the performance metric of Equation ( 7 (1,5), (4, 5), (4, 1), (5, 1), (5,4) .…”
