Abstract

NOMA (Non-orthogonal multiple access) system is the most promising multiple access technology to satisfy the requirements of the spectral efficiency and the performance of 5G cellular systems. NOMA system simultaneously serves multiple users in the power domain, and adapts SIC (Successive interference cancellation) at the receivers to cancel the interference from multiple users. Since in a realistic wireless fading channel the perfect SIC is impossible, the study of the effect of the imperfect SIC to a NOMA system is necessary. This paper considers a cooperative NOMA system with SIC error, and the performance of the system is analytically derived. And the optimum power allocation to minimize the system performance is obtained. When the transmit power is fixed, the distances between a base station and the relay is considered for different SIC errors. The derived analytical results are verified through Monte Carlo simulation, and the results are perfectly matched.

NOMA (Non-orthogonal multiple access) 시스템은 5세대 이동통신 시스템에서 요구하는 스펙트럼 효율과 시스템 성능을 만족시키는 유력한 다중화 기술이다. NOMA 시스템은 전력 도메인에서 여러 사용자를 동시에 전송하는데, 타 사용자들로 부터의 간섭을 제거하기 위하여 수신기에 SIC (Successive interference cancellation)를 채택하고 있다. 그러나 현실적으로 무선 페이딩 채널의 특성상 완벽한 SIC가 불가능하므로, SIC 에러가 NOMA 시스템에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 매우 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 SIC 에러가 존재할 때 협동 NOMA 시스템을 대상으로 하여 시스템의 오수신율을 해석적으로 유도하였고, 오수신율을 최소화하기 위한 최적의 전력할당을 구하였다. 또한 송신전력이 고정되었을 경우 SIC 에러에 따른 기지국과 릴레이 사이의 거리도 검토하였다. 유도한 결과는 Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교하여 정확히 일치함을 확인하였다.
