Patent ID: 11711194

Abstract:
The present disclosure describes methods and systems applicable to multi-branch non-orthogonal (NOMA) wireless communication. The described methods and systems include a base station (120) determining (705) a first plurality of multiple access resources and an order of the first plurality of multiple access resources. The base station (120) transmits (710), to a user equipment (110), a message that includes the determined first plurality of multiple access resources and the determined order of the first plurality of multiple access resources. The user equipment (110) transmits, to the base station (120), a multi-branch data stream using a second plurality of multiple access resources that is determined from the first plurality of multiple access resources, after which the base station (120) decodes (730) data from the multi-branch data stream by combining the second plurality of multiple access resources in accordance with the determined order of the first plurality of multiple access resources.
