This paper presents the first network-coded multiple access (NCMA) system prototype operated on high-order modulations up to 16-QAM. NCMA jointly exploits physical-layer network coding (PNC) and multiuser decoding (MUD) to boost throughput of multipacket reception systems. Direct generalization of the existing NCMA decoding algorithm, originally designed for BPSK, to high-order modulations, will lead to huge performance degradation. The throughput degradation is caused by the relative phase offset between received signals from different nodes. To circumvent the phase offset problem, this paper investigates an NCMA system with multiple receive antennas at the access point (AP), referred to as MIMO-NCMA. We put forth a low-complexity symbol-level NCMA decoder that, together with MIMO, can substantially alleviate the performance degradation induced by relative phase offset. To demonstrate the feasibility and advantage of MIMO-NCMA for high-order modulations, we implemented our designs on software-defined radio. Our experimental results show that the throughput of QPSK MIMO-NCMA is double that of both BPSK NCMA and QPSK MUD at SNR=10dB. For higher SNRs at which 16-QAM can be supported, the throughput of MIMO-NCMA can be as high as 3.5 times that of BPSK NCMA. Overall, this paper provides an implementable framework for high-order modulated NCMA.

This letter considers two groups of source nodes. Each group transmits packets to its own designated destination node over single-hop links and via a cluster of relay nodes shared by both groups. In an effort to boost reliability without sacrificing throughput, a scheme is proposed, whereby packets at the relay nodes are combined using two methods; packets delivered by different groups are mixed using non-orthogonal multiple access principles, while packets originating from the same group are mixed using random linear network coding. An analytical framework that characterizes the performance of the proposed scheme is developed, compared to simulation results and benchmarked against a counterpart scheme that is based on orthogonal multiple access.
We propose an enhanced version of trellis coded multiple access (TCMA), an overloaded multiple access scheme that outperforms the original TCMA in terms of achieved spectral efficiency. Enhanced TCMA (ETCMA) performs simultaneous transmission of multiple data streams intended for users experiencing similar signal-to-noise ratios and can be employed both in the uplink and in the downlink of wireless systems, thus overcoming one of the main limitations of TCMA. Thanks to a new receiver algorithm, ETCMA is capable of delivering a significantly higher spectral efficiency. We show that ETCMA approaches the capacity of the Additive White Gaussian Noise channel for a wide range of signal-to-noise ratios.
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is one of the key techniques to address the high spectral efficiency and massive connectivity requirements for the fifth generation (5G) wireless system. To efficiently realize NOMA, we propose a joint design framework combining the polar coding and the NOMA transmission, which deeply mines the generalized polarization effect among the users. In this polar coded NOMA (PC-NOMA) framework, the original NOMA channel is decomposed into multiple bit polarized channels by using a three-stage channel transform, that is, user$to$signal$to$bit partitions. Specifically, for the first-stage channel transform, we design two schemes, namely sequential user partition (SUP) and parallel user partition (PUP). For the SUP, a joint successive cancellation detecting and decoding scheme is developed, and a search algorithm is proposed to schedule the NOMA detecting order which improves the system performance by enhanced polarization among the user synthesized channels. The worst-goes-first idea is employed in the scheduling strategy, and its theoretic performance is analyzed by using the polarization principle. For the PUP, a corresponding parallel detecting scheme is exploited to reduce the latency. The block error ratio performances over the additive white Gaussian noise channel and the Rayleigh fading channel indicate that the proposed PC-NOMA obviously outperforms the state-of-the-art turbo coded NOMA scheme due to the advantages of joint design between the polar coding and NOMA.
This paper presents the first Network-Coded Multiple Access (NCMA) system with multiple users adopting different signal modulations, referred to as rate-diverse NCMA. A distinguishing feature of NCMA is the joint use of physical-layer network coding (PNC) and multiuser decoding (MUD) to boost throughput of multipacket reception systems. In previous NCMA systems, users adopt the same modulation regardless of their individual channel conditions. This leads to suboptimal throughput for many practical scenarios, especially when different users have widely varying channel conditions. A rate-diverse NCMA system allows different users to use modulations that are commensurate with their channel conditions. A key challenge is the design of the PNC mapping and decoding mechanisms in NCMA when different users adopt different modulations. While there have been past work on non-channel-coded rate-diverse PNC, this paper is the first attempt to design channel-coded rate-diverse PNC to ensure the reliability of the overall NCMA system. Specifically, we put forth a symbol-splitting channel coding and modulation design so that PNC/NCMA can work over different modulations. We implemented our rate-diverse NCMA system on software-defined radios. Experimental results show that the throughput of rate-diverse NCMA can outperform the state-of-the-art rate-homogeneous NCMA by 80%. Overall, the introduction of rate diversity significantly boosts the NCMA system throughput in practical scenarios.
This paper proposes and experimentally demonstrates a first wireless local area network (WLAN) system that jointly exploits physical-layer network coding (PNC) and multiuser decoding (MUD) to boost system throughput. We refer to this multiple access mode as Network-Coded Multiple Access (NCMA). Prior studies on PNC mostly focused on relay networks. NCMA is the first realized multiple access scheme that establishes the usefulness of PNC in a non-relay setting. NCMA allows multiple nodes to transmit simultaneously to the access point (AP) to boost throughput. In the non-relay setting, when two nodes A and B transmit to the AP simultaneously, the AP aims to obtain both packet A and packet B rather than their network-coded packet. An interesting question is whether network coding, specifically PNC which extracts packet (A XOR B), can still be useful in such a setting. We provide an affirmative answer to this question with a novel two-layer decoding approach amenable to real-time implementation. Our USRP prototype indicates that NCMA can boost throughput by 100% in the medium-high SNR regime (>=10dB). We believe further throughput enhancement is possible by allowing more than two users to transmit together.
