Abstract
Single-input multiple-output non-orthogonal multiple access (SIMO-NOMA) is a promising technology for the uplink (UL) of the Internet of things (IoT). A rate splitting scheme to guarantee max-min fairness (MMF) of SIMO-NOMA is studied. First, the achievable data rate of the minimum mean square error successive interference cancellation (MMSE-SIC) detection is formulated. An upper bound for the minimum data rate of UL users is derived, and it is proved that the upper bound can be achieved by rate splitting with MMSE-SIC detection. Then, an exhaustive-search rate splitting algorithm to maximize the minimum data rate is designed. The existence of a lower bound for the minimum data rate with two-layer SIMO-NOMA is proved. A low-complexity two-layer rate splitting algorithm is designed with suitable detection order to exceed the lower bound. Numerical results verify that rate splitting SIMO-NOMA has higher minimum data rate and lower transmission latency than single-input multiple-output orthogonal multiple access (SIMO-OMA) and un-layered SIMO-NOMA.
