Abstract

Future needs of wireless and cellular communication in current, as well as the next decade, require to support many services like system average throughput, mobile traffic explosion, live HD streaming, enhanced location-based services (LBS), M2M communication, cloud computing, etc. These bring many challenges in capacity, coverage, data rate, and spectral efficiency. Traditional Orthogonal Multiple Access techniques (OMA) can't fulfill these basic requirements of next generation networks. However, by allocating the same radio resources to many users, the system capacity and user throughput can be improved. Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access technique has recently been recommended for the fifth generation (5G) and beyond fifth generation networks (5G+) which can address such issues. By non-orthogonally allocating many users, the capacity and spectral efficiency can be improved. NOMA scheme can be categorized into two main classes: Power domain and Code Domain. This survey paper centers on the Power domain NOMA technique with superposition coding plus Successive interference cancellation at transmitter and receiver, respectively, as well as sum-rate analysis of NOMA in uplink and downlink. The blend of NOMA with MIMO and massive MIMO in addition to the performance of NOMA in the cellular network has been discussed and analyzed.
