Abstract
Network-assisted diversity multiple access (NDMA) was recently developed to resolve collision and achieve high throughput. The blind NDMA method using independent component analysis (ICA), named ICA-NDMA, has been shown to overcome the difficulties of synchronization and orthogonal identification codes required by the training-based NDMA protocols. In this paper, we propose a novel blind collision resolution strategy by employing cooperative transmission in ICA-NDMA. When K-node collision happened, a cooperative transmission mechanism is adopted to collect different superposition of the K nodes' packets in the following slots. Moreover, a cooperative blind detection algorithm is intro- duced to determine the number of collision nodes. Finally, with ICA, the destination can retrieve the original packets through processing the collided packet and the signals forwarded by relays. Simulation results show that, the proposed method can work effectively under both fast-varying and slow-varying channels, the performances of average packet delay and maximum stable throughput are better than ICA-NDMA.
