Abstract

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is considered as promising multiple access (MA) scheme for upcoming fifth generation (5G) systems. The performance of NOMA is highly dependent upon having significant channel gain difference among users. In this paper, we focus on the situation of similar channel conditions and propose a channel gain stretching (CGS) strategy to apply NOMA more effectively under these conditions. In order to evaluate the performance, we derive a closed-form expression of the outage probability. Numerical results are also presented to validate the accuracy of the derived results and also to compare the performance of NOMA with and without CGS, and orthogonal MA (OMA).
