Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new downlink non-orthogonal multiuser superposition transmission scheme for future 5G cellular networks, which we refer to as the lattice partition multiple access (LPMA). In this proposed design, the base station transmits multilevel lattice codes for multiple users. Each user's code level corresponds to a distinct prime and is weighted by a product of all distinct primes of the other users excluding its own. Due to the structural property of lattice codes, each user can cancel out the interference from the other code levels by using the modulo lattice operation in a successive/parallel manner. LPMA can provide better user fairness in symmctrical broadcast channels, compared with non- orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). We demonstrate that the proposed LPMA shows a clear throughput enhancement over the current NOMA scheme.
