An antenna switching based NOMA scheme for IEEE 802.15.4 concurrent transmission

Boekbijdrage - Boekhoofdstuk Conferentiebijdrage

This paper introduces a Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) scheme to support concurrent transmission of multiple IEEE 802.15.4 packets. Unlike collision avoidance Multiple Access Control (MAC), concurrent transmission supports Concurrent-MAC (C-MAC) where packet collision is allowed. The communication latency can be reduced by C-MAC because a user can transmit immediately without waiting for the completion of other users’ transmission. The big challenge of concurrent transmission is that error free demodulation of multiple collided packets hardly can be achieved due to severe Multiple Access Interference (MAI). To improve the demodulation performance with MAI presented, we introduce an architecture with multiple switching antennas sharing a single analog transceiver to capture spatial character of different users. Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) algorithm is designed to separate collided packets by utilizing the spatial character. Simulation shows that at least five users can transmit concurrently to the SIC receiver equipped with eight antennas without sacrificing Packet Error Rate.
