Performance Analysis Of Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access Technique Using Simulink

Abstract

Non orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a novel technology for transmission of the data with similar data-rate for users both at the cell center and the at cell edge. Due to its good cell coverage and large transmission bandwidth enables reliable communication for users located at the cell edge. The signals for the users are transmitted through entire spatial bandwidth by multiplexing in the power domain. This work presents the Simulink implementation of non-orthogonal multiple access over additive white Gaussian noise channel, Rayleigh and Rician fading channel. The NOMA Transmitter and the receiver blocks with SIC are implemented for two user and three user environments. Multipath fading environment was providing using parameter settings available in theblocks. Performance of the models implemented are analyzed with respect to Bit error rate (BER) v/s Eb/Noplots comparing using various modulation schemes over various channels. The results are tabulated and analyzed.
