Performance Analysis of Non-Orthogonal Multicast in Two-tier Heterogeneous Networks

arXiv:1901.00236

Abstract

With the explosive growth of mobile services, non-orthogonal broadcast/multicast transmissions can effectively improves spectrum efficiency. Nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) represents a paradigm shift from conventional orthogonal multiple-access (OMA) concepts and has been recognized as one of the key enabling technologies for fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks. In this paper, a two-tier heterogeneous network is studied, in which the wireless signal power is partitioned by the NOMA scheme. Moreover, the coverage probability, the average rate and the average QoE are derived to evaluate network performance. Simulation results show that compared with the OMA method, non-orthogonal broadcast/multicast method improve both the average user rate and QoE in the two-tier heterogeneous network.
