Advanced NOMA Assisted Semi-Grant-Free Transmission Schemes for Randomly Distributed Users
share
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) assisted semi-grant-free (SGF) transmission has recently received much research attention, which can serve the grant-free (GF) users with the grant-based (GB) users' spectrum. In this paper, we first extend the SGF scheme with the best user scheduling (BU-SGF) to a more practical randomly deployed users system. Then, a cumulative distribution function (CDF)-based scheduling aided SGF (CS-SGF) scheme is proposed to ensure fair admission probability for all GF users. Meanwhile, we analytically demonstrate that, for both BU-SGF and CS-SGF schemes, full diversity orders can be achieved only when the served users' data rate is capped. To address this issue, we propose an efficient power control strategy to relax such data rate constraint and further enhance the outage probability. In addition, after applying the proposed power control strategy, both schemes' outage performances are analyzed by utilizing stochastic geometry. Theoretic and simulation results demonstrate that, with the proposed power control strategy both schemes can achieve full diversity orders in all cases.
