Abstract
Gain division multiple access (GDMA), low density spreading code division multiple access (LDS-CDMA) and Sparse code multiple access (SCMA) are non-orthogonal multiple access methods, where SCMA is a method derived from LDS-CDMA with a special design of signal constellation. We compare their performances for transmission over Rayleigh fading channels. Simulation results show that the special constellation design of SCMA does not provide any gain in Rayleigh fading channels. We show that the error performances of a 6-user LDS-CDMA scheme based on 4 resources can be evaluated by applying diversity-2 concept to the 3-user GDMA based on a single resource. However, by using more resources and error-correcting codes, GDMA can also achieve diversity and hence provide error rates similar to LDS-CDMA. In addition, GDMA has the advantage of low complexity.
