Performance of the User in the TDD NOMA Cellular Networks Enabling FFR

Abstract

Improving the user performance and spectrum efficiency are urgent problems for 5G and beyond 5G (B5G) cellular networks to support high Quality of Services such as enhanced mobile broadband, ultra-reliable, and low latency communications. Together with Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR), Time Division Duplex (TDD) and Non-Orthogonal Multi-Access (NOMA) are promising the potential solutions for these problems. While the related researches focus on the single or combination two of three techniques, this paper proposes a system that combination of all three techniques to improve the data rate on the uplink sub-band. Specifically, each couple of Cell-Center User (CCU) and Cell-Edge User (CEU) in a given cell, that is defined by the FFR technique, is allowed to transmit on the same sub-band by the meaning of power-domain NOMA technique. In addition, the TDD technique allow the sharing sub-band between the user and Base Station (BS). The analytical results in Nakagami-m fading and regular path loss model shows that achievable total data rate on the shared sub-band in the proposed system model is 18.2% and 125% higher than that in the regular one with TDD and NOMA, respectively. The data rate improvement of the proposed system model proves the feasibility of co-exits of these techniques in the B5G systems.
