Summary :

The non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) approach has been developed in the fifth-generation mobile communication systems (5G) and beyond, to improve the spectrum efficiency and accommodate a large number of IoT devices. Although power domain NOMA is a promising candidate, it is vulnerable to the nonlinearity of RF circuits and cannot achieve high-throughput transmission using high-level modulations in nonlinear environments. This study proposes a novel post-reception nonlinear compensation scheme consisting of two blind nonlinear compensators (BNLCs) and a frequency-domain equalizer (FDE) to reduce the effect of nonlinear distortion. The improvement possible with the proposed scheme is evaluated by using the error vector magnitude (EVM) of the received signal, which is obtained through computer simulations. The simulation results confirm that the proposed scheme can effectively improve the quality of the received downlink power-domain NOMA signal and enable high-throughput transmission under the transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) nonlinearities via a frequency-selective fading channel.
