Fixed and fair power allocation in downlink and uplink NOMA: outage probability analysis and bit error rate comparative study
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a crucial technology for upcoming radio access networks since it allows several users to use the same time and frequency resources. It is positioned as a viable option for next-generation communication systems because to its capabilities to increase system capacity and spectrum efficiency. This essay investigates the effects of fair and fixed power allocation (PA) techniques on NOMA systems' uplink and downlink performance. It specifically assesses bit error rate (BER) and outage probability (OP), two crucial performance parameters. The paper provides a thorough comparison of the fixed and fair PA approaches, highlighting the advantages, and disadvantages of each. While fixed PA is easier to deploy, results show that it performs poorly in dynamic situations, increasing BER and OP, particularly for users with less reliable channels. Fair PA, on the other hand, improves system dependability, and user fairness by dynamically allocating power depending on user situations, thus reducing OP and BER. Future wireless networks will benefit greatly from its enhanced spectrum efficiency and up to 78% reduction in outage likelihood. With fair PA's higher flexibility and effectiveness in real-world, varied circumstances, the results underline the significance of selecting appropriate PA techniques for NOMA systems
BER performance in NOMA downlink transmission using AWGN, Rayleigh, and Rician fading channels
5G wireless technology is accessible to a much larger user base compared to previous cellular networks. Users can connect to base stations (BSs) in a variety of methods, including of frequency division multiplexing (FDM), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), orthogonal multiple access (OMA), and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). NOMA is considered to be the best one for 5G. Additionally, NOMA employs radio resource optimization and interference control techniques to enhance spectrum network efficiency and support extremely large connections, such as successive interference cancellation (SIC). Users can be divided into two categories: strong and weak. While weak users may experience a low data rate, strong users need a high one. In this paper, we examine the two users in relation to transmit power, the indicative bit error rate (BER), outage probability (OP), and rate attainable capacity using additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. Moreover, we compare the BER and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) per bit for two users, showing that the Rician fading channel performs better than the Rayleigh fading channel. The use of NOMA technology is the optimal choice and indicates an improvement in the precision of data transmission within the communication system, particularly in the presence of noise and interference
