Abstract:
A network device (e.g., an evolved Node B (eNB), user equipment (UE) or the like) can operate to enable scheduling of transmissions within physical resource blocks (PRBs) as a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) zone and as an orthogonal multiple access (OMA) zone to enable multiplexing UEs over a long term evolution (LTE) or next generation (NextGen) 5G based network for uplink transmissions. A first UE of the UEs can be scheduled to generate uplink transmissions from PRBs within the NOMA zone without an explicit grant message based on predefined threshold of a first transmission packet size or a first transmission rate. Another UE can also be scheduled to utilize resources of the NOMA zone or the OMA zone based on the predefined threshold.

Claim (Index 35):
An apparatus configured to be employed in a user equipment (\u201cUE\u201d) comprising:\n one or more processors configured to:\n receive one or more downlink signals to schedule uplink transmissions, wherein the one or more downlink signals comprise a first plurality of physical resource blocks (\u201cPRBs\u201d) corresponding to a non-orthogonal multiple access (\u201cNOMA\u201d) zone and a second plurality of PRBs corresponding to an orthogonal multiple access (\u201cOMA\u201d) zone for an uplink transmission; \n determine whether to generate the uplink transmission within the NOMA zone or the OMA zone based on at least one of: a transmission packet size or a transmission rate; and \n a communication interface, coupled to the one or more processors, configured to receive or transmit communication transmissions.
