Title
Multi-User Proportional Fair Scheduling for Uplink Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA)
Abstract
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a promising radio access technique for LTE release 13 and beyond. In this paper, we focus on the investigation of the system performance for uplink NOMA with an advanced successive interference cancellation (SIC) receiver applied in the base station side. In NOMA, more than one user can be multiplexed simultaneously in the same frequency bandwidth, which demands multi-user scheduling. In our study, we propose an enhanced proportional fair (PF) based scheduling scheme for non-orthogonal multiplexed users with contiguous resource allocation to retain the SC-FDM property. In order to reduce the scheduling complexity for non-orthogonal multiple access, a greedy consecutive resource allocation method is adopted. Moreover, since the interference condition becomes more complicated in NOMA, we consider the application of fractional frequency reuse (FFR) to NOMA to further enhance the performance of cell-edge users. In simulation results, the system performance of NOMA by using the proposed PF-based scheduling algorithm is evaluated. The results show that NOMA significantly enhances the uplink system performance compared to the conventional orthogonal multiple access.
