An simple introduction for NOMA from power multiplexing to power diversity
Consider a downlink NOMA system, where a BS send a superimposed messages to two users simultaneously. Let hih_ihi, i=1,2i=1,2i=1,2 denote the channel response of the users from the BS.
The received signal at user iii can be expressed as
yi=hi(s1+s2)+niy_i = h_i(s_1+s_2) + n_iyi=hi(s1+s2)+ni,
where si, i=1,2s_i,~i=1,2si, i=1,2 is the desired message of user iii, and nin_ini denote the noise at user iii and ni∼CN(0,σi2)n_i \sim \mathcal{CN}(0, \sigma_i^2)ni∼CN(0,σi2). Here, we assume that σ12=σ22=σ2\sigma_1^2 = \sigma_2^2 =\sigma^2σ12=σ
