Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a promising multiple access scheme for further improving the spectrum efficiency compared to that for orthogonal multiple access (OMA) in the 5th Generation (5G) mobile communication systems. All of the existing evaluations for NOMA focus on the macrocell deployment since NOMA fully utilizes the power domain and the difference in channel gains, e.g., path loss, between users, which is typically sufficiently large in macrocells. Currently, small cells are becoming important and being studied for future Long-Term Evolution (LTE) enhancements in order to improve further the system performance. Thus, it is of great interest to study the performance of NOMA for small cell deployment. This paper investigates the system level performance of NOMA in small cells considering practical assumptions such as the single user multiple-input multiple-output (SU-MIMO) technique, adaptive modulation and coding (AMC), feedback channel quality indicator (CQI). Some of the key NOMA specific functionalities, including multi-user paring and transmit power allocation are also taken into account in the evaluation. Based on computer simulations, we show that for both macrocell and small cell deployments, NOMA can still provide a larger throughput performance gain compared to that for OMA.
