Abstract
This letter proposes a novel uplink multiple access scheme that accommodates up to $K$ low data-rate non-priority users (NPUs) within a selected priority user’s (PU) spectrum, without compromising the PU performance. The uplink base station decodes the PU symbol first, followed by the symbols of $K$ NPUs, employing successive interference cancellation. A dynamic interference threshold limit, set after PU selection, determines $K$ and NPU powers in closed-form using a novel instantaneous power allocation scheme (IPAS) inspired by underlay cognitive radio. Spectrum utilization is maximized with precise control over NPU target rate and $K$ . Closed-form throughput analysis, validated via simulations, demonstrates superiority of the suggested scheme over a traditional multiple access employing static optimal power allocation.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Communications Letters publishes short papers in a rapid publication cycle on advances in the state-of-the-art of communication over different media and channels including wire, underground, waveguide, optical fiber, and storage channels. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments and prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. This journal focuses on the physical layer and the link layer of communication systems.
