Exact BER Performance Analysis of an Elementary Coding Techniques for NOMA System on AWGN Channel

Abstract

Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) requirements of modern wireless communication systems have heightened the need for complexity reduction in data processing along with error detection and correction techniques. Motivated by this fact, we introduce a low-complexity coding scheme for Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA). Furthermore, this work presents a comprehensive mathematical analysis of the proposed coded NOMA communication system and evaluates its Bit Error Rate (BER) performance in various scenarios. Our study showcases a precise match between practical and theoretical results, underlining the presented mathematical analysis precision. Moreover, we conduct a comparison between the proposed NOMA system and other coded and uncoded NOMA systems. This comparison highlights the superior performance of the proposed system, providing evidence of its potential to achieve the desired complexity reduction without compromising performance. Finally, in the same work environment, it is worth noting that the proposed system demonstrated superior performance compared to typical uncoded NOMA systems. It achieved a minimum improvement of 21 dB for the 1st user and a 17 dB improvement for the 2nd and 3rd users.
