A low-complexity transceiver scheme for joint DFT pre-coded DWT SC-FDMA NOMA system under dissimilar power allocation strategies

Abstract

The competence of Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) to provide improved spectrum efficiency, support massive network elements, and low latency services make it attractive to Multiple Access (MA) technology for next-generation wireless networks. Single-Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) is an optimal technique in 4G wireless communication to enhance spectrum efficiency and user capacity. The amalgamation of SC-FDMA with NOMA can become a better choice for wireless communication for 5G and Beyond 5G (B5G). Discrete Wavelet Transforms (DWT) have been a better choice for improving the system's performance due to its outstanding orthogonality and spectral confinement characteristics. This study proposes a transceiver architecture that uses joint Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and DWT to outperform existing NOMA systems in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER). The transceiver architecture is symbolized as a joint DFT precoded DWT (JDPD) SC-FDMA NOMA System. Furthermore, we propose a Joint Low Complexity Regularized Zero forcing (JLC RZF) for JDPD SC-FDMA NOMA system to enhance the BER with low complexity. In order to illustrate the superiority of the proposed system over multipath channels, the system performance over a range of Carrier Frequency Offset (CFO) values and power allocation scenarios are also examined.
