Abstract:
Sparse code multiple access (SCMA) has been a competitive multiple access candidate for future communication networks due to its superiority in spectrum efficiency and providing massive connectivity. However, cell edge users may suffer from great performance degradations due to signal attenuation. Therefore, a cooperative downlink SCMA system is proposed to improve transmission reliability. To the best of our knowledge, multiuser detection is still an open issue for this cooperative downlink SCMA system. To this end, we propose a joint iterative decoding design of the cooperative downlink SCMA system by using the joint factor graph stemming from direct and relay transmission. The closed form bit-error rate (BER) performance of the cooperative downlink SCMA system is also derived. Simulation results verify that the proposed cooperative downlink SCMA system performs better than the non-cooperative one.
