본 논문에서는 위성 통신 시스템에 있어서 제한된 채널을 다수의 사용자가 효율적으로 사용하기 위한 다중 접속 방식인 고정 할당 다중 접속, 랜덤 다중 접속, 요구할당 다중 접속, 혼합 랜덤/예약 다중 접속 방식등의 프로토콜에 관하여 고찰하였으며, 몇 가지의 프로토콜에 관한 성능을 비교 검토하였다. 고정 할당 다중 접속 방식의 경우 연속적인 트래픽에 효율적이므로 소수의 기관 통신에는 적합하나 다수의 사용자를 수용하기에는 부적합한 특성을 갖고 있으며, 랜덤 다중 접속 방식은 접속 방식이 간단하며, 버스트한 트래픽을 가진 다수의 사용자에 대하여 적은 지연 특성을 갖는 장점이 있으나 한정된 채널 효율과 사용자 수의 증가에 따른 지연의 증가가 심각하다. 따라서, 지상의 초고속 통신망의 위성 시스템을 적용하기 위해서는 지상 B-ISDN의 패킷화된 ATM 셀의 전송을 위해 접속 방식은 다소 복잡하지만 채널 효율 및 지연 특성이 비교적 우수한 요구 할당 다중 접속 또는 혼합 랜덤/예약 다중 접속 방식이 적합할 것으로 보인다.

본 논문에서는 다중 빔을 사용한 저궤도 위성 이동 통신시스템 환경에서 부호 분할 다중접속 및 주파수 분할 다중접속 방식의 채널 용량을 비교 분석하였다. 위성 중계기의 출 력의 효율성, 주파수 효율성, 부호화 방식 및 안테나의 EIRP나 G/T형태 등과 같은 파라미 터들을 순방향 링크와 역방향 링크에서 채널 용량을 결정하는 시스템 파라미터로서 고려하 였고, 피더 링크(feeder link)는 Ku-band를, 사용자는 링크는 L-band를 사용한 다중 스팟빔 (spot beam) 시스템을 채널 용량 분석의 모델로 적용하였다. 분석결과 도플러 현상 및 다중 경로에 강한 부호 분할 다중접속 방식이 용량면에서 주파수 분할 다중접속 방식에 비해 성 능이 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

이 논문에서는 직교 주파수 분할 다중 접속방식(orthogonal frequency division multiple access : OFDMA)을 이용한 상향 링크 시스템에서 수신된 신호에 주파수 옵셋이 존재할 때 나타나는 영향을 보상하는 방법을 제안한다. OFDMA에서 각 사용자가 전송한 신호에서 발생하는 주파수 옵셋은 다중 접속 간섭(multi-user interference : MUI)을 발생시킨다. 이러한 다중접속 간섭은 OFDMA 시스템의 성능을 저하시키는 주요한 원인 중에 하나이다. 이 논문에서는 시간영역에서 특정 사용자의 신호에 대한 주파수 옵셋의 보상을 한 뒤, 주파수 영역에서 일반적인 채널간간섭 제거 방법을 적용하여 다중 접속 간섭에 의한 영향을 효과적으로 제거하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 부반송파에 위치에 따라 달리 나타나는 다중 접속 간섭의 크기에 따라 간섭 제거 방법을 달리하여 보다 적은 계산량으로 간섭을 제거하는 방법을 제안한다.

Since a sufficient condition on the larger rate volume of 3-user correlated information sources (CIS)/non-successive interference cancellation (SIC) non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) over independent information sources (IIS)/SIC NOMA has not been investigated, this paper analyzes such a sufficient condition. First, we demonstrates that the rate volume of 3-user CIS/SIC NOMA is the same as a portion of the rate volume of 3-user IIS/SIC NOMA. Then, by identifying a dominant rate region, we calculate the sufficient condition on the larger rate volume of 3-user CIS/non-SIC NOMA over 3-user IIS/SIC NOMA. We also show that with such condition, the rate volume of 3-user CIS/non-SIC NOMA can be larger than that of 3-user IIS/SIC NOMA.

In the fifth generation (5G) mobile networks, the interactive mobile game users have increased tremendously, which induces correlated information sources (CIS). One of the promising 5G technologies is non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). In NOMA, the users share the channel resources, so that CIS affect each user's bit-error rate (BER) performance, which is not the case for orthogonal multiple access (OMA). In this paper, we derive the optimal receiver for NOMA with CIS, and then investigate the impact of CIS on each user's BER performance.

This paper investigates the improved outage probability of correlated superposition coding(CSC)/non-successive interference cancellation(SIC) non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) scheme. For this, first, we calculate the outage probability of the conventional independent superposition coding(ISC)/SIC NOMA scheme. Then, simulations demonstrate that the outage probability of CSC/non-SIC NOMA improves greatly, with respect to that of conventional ISC/SIC NOMA. As a result, CSC/non-SIC NOMA schemes could be a promising technique in 5G networks, especially with such improved outage probability.

In this paper, we propose a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) method based on channel alignment to simultaneously transmit multiple unicast and multicast streams in frequency-efficient manner. In this method, all receivers in a multicast cluster use the receive beamforming vectors that align their channels, and the base station uses the aligned channel information to design the transmit beamforming vectors that eliminate interference between multicast clusters. Using the effective receive channel information combined with the transmit beamforming vectors, unicast receivers design their own receive beamforming vectors that eliminate interference between unicast receivers. Since the proposed method effectively eliminates the interference, it achieves a higher sum rate than the existing orthogonal multiple access (OMA) method in high SNR regions. In addition, we present a hybrid method that exploits the benefits of the proposed NOMA method and the existing OMA method. Depending on the channel state, the hybrid method adaptively employs the existing OMA method, which improves the received signal power, in low SNR regions and the proposed NOMA method, which effectively eliminates the interference, in high SNR regions, thereby achieving a good sum rate over the entire SNR region.

In the fifth generation (5G) networks, the mobile services require much faster connections than in the fourth generation (4G) mobile networks. Recently, as one of the promising 5G technologies, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been drawing attention. In NOMA, the users share the frequency and time, so that the more users can be served simultaneously. NOMA has several superiorites over orthogonal multiple access (OMA) of long term evolution (LTE), such as higher system capacity and low transmission latency. In this paper, we investigate impact of channel estimation errors on successive interference cancellation (SIC) performance of NOMA. First, the closed-form expression of the bit-error rate (BER) with channel estimation errors is derived, And then the BER with channel estimation errors is compared to that with the perfect channel estimation. In addition, the signal-to-noise (SNR) loss due to channel estimation errors is analyzed.

In the fifth generation (5G) mobile networks, the mobile services require 100 times faster connections. One of the promising 5G technologies is non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). In NOMA, the users share the channel resources, so that the more users can be served simultaneously. There are several advantages offered by NOMA, such as higher spectrum efficiency and low transmission latency, compared to orthogonal multiple access (OMA), which is usually used in the fourth generation (4G) mobile networks, for example, long term evolution (LTE). In this paper, we compare the receivers for NOMA. The standard NOMA receiver, the non-SIC NOMA receiver, and the symmetric superposition coding (SC) NOMA receiver are compared. Specifically, it is shown that the performance of the standard receiver is the best, whereas the performances of the non-SIC receiver and symmetric SC receiver are dependent on the power allocation.

Wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) is the most widely adopted third generation air interface. The physical layer of the air interface is the main discussion topic during standardization processes. This paper aims to investigate the performance of uplink WCDMA over many conceivable transmission scenarios in realistic operating conditions. The focus of the study is placed on the performance under frequency selective fading channel conditions with multiple access interference (MAI) in mixed services environments. For the investigation, a simulator has been developed and it encompasses a variety of WCDMA air interface features. The results show that the performance is greatly affected by MAI and is further aggravated with the presence of frequency selective fading, thereby necessitating a suitable compensation measure.
