Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We investigate and compare the system-level throughput of the non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with a successive interference canceller (SIC) and orthogonal multiple access (OMA) in the downlink under realistic file transfer protocol (FTP) traffic model. With FTP traffic model, a user is assigned a finite payload to transmit when it arrives, and it leaves the system after the payload transmission is completed. This FTP traffic model is more realistic than the full-buffer traffic model, which is assumed in previous investigations on NOMA. Furthermore, we evaluate the system-level throughput with various user scheduling criteria. Under realistic finite-payload traffic model, the very high throughput gain at the cell vicinity by using NOMA can be translated to the improvement of cell-edge user experience. Through the extensive computer simulations, we clarify the behavior of NOMA with SIC under realistic traffic model in conjunction with various user scheduling criteria. The simulation results suggest that NOMA with SIC is a promising multiple access schemes for systems beyond 4G.
