Regarding the high PAPR problem of PD-NOMA based on traditional OFDM waveforms, low-power consumption waveforms can be used to replace traditional OFDM waveforms. Embodiments of the present invention propose two alternative low-power consumption waveforms: DFT-s-OFDM and CE-OFDM. Among them, the DFT-s-OFDM waveform improves the uplink signal fluctuation range through precoding, and the CE-OFDM waveform modulates the OFDM time-domain symbols onto the phase of a constant envelope carrier signal through phase modulation, improving the power efficiency of the power amplifier to varying degrees and reducing the transmission energy consumption. And CE-OFDM has more ideal PAPR characteristics than DFT-s-OFDM, and thus can obtain better energy consumption performance. As a possible implementation, the energy consumption-based adaptive non-orthogonal uplink multiple access provided by the embodiments of the present invention The method is specifically as follows: In a wireless communication system based on CE-OFDM modulation and DFT-s-OFDM modulation, the transmitting-end users are paired in pairs by the system into several pairs of user pairs. Based on the distance between the transmitting end where the user is located and the receiving end (base station), the users in the user pair are divided into a proximal user (defined as user 1) and a distal user (defined as user 2), that is, the channel of user 1 has a smaller attenuation, and the channel attenuation of user 2 is larger; and the system configures corresponding power weights for each pair of user pairs. The power weight of the proximal user is denoted as P 1 , and the power weight of the distal user is denoted as P 2 , where,, 0 ≤ P 2 ≤ P 1 ≤ 1, and P 1 + P 2 = 1; At the same time, for the transmission waveform used, user 1 defaults to using the DFT-s-OFDM waveform, and user 2 can choose the DFT-s-OFDM or CE-OFDM waveform according to its own energy consumption level; define the energy consumption threshold as α (0 < α ≤ 100%). When the energy consumption is higher than α, user 2 uses the DFT-s-OFDM waveform.

It should be noted that when the energy consumption level of the distal user (uplink user 2) is higher than the energy consumption α, it uses the DFT-s-OFDM waveform, and the transmission signal s corresponding to user 2 is obtained through the above steps a1~a4 1 , and during power configuration, based on the transmission power P allocated by the system t configure the transmission power of this transmission signal s 1 to be As shown in Figure 2, the signal transmission steps (CE-OFDM process) at the transmitter of uplink user 2 include: b1. Digital modulation: Map the information bits of user 2 to obtain a modulated signal after M-QAM modulation It can be expressed as: X 2 = [X 2 (0), X 2 (2), …, X 2 (N c - 1)] T Among them, X 2 (n) represents the nth (n = 0, …, N 2 - 1) symbol of X c ; b2.

Add CP: Add a cyclic prefix to obtain the transmitted signal of User 2 s 2 = [s′ 2 [N all -N CP +1], …, s′ 2 [N all -1], s′ 2 [0], s′ 2 [1], …, s′ 2 [N all -1]] T b7. Power configuration: Based on the transmitted power P allocated by the system t configure the transmitted power of the transmitted signal s of the remote user 2 to be That is, the transmitted power of each sampling point symbol (s 2 [n], n = 0, …, N 2 +N all -1) of the transmitted signal s is configured to be CP As shown in Figure 3, the signal reception processing at the base station receiver includes: c1. Time domain-frequency domain transformation: Remove the CP from the received signal and perform an N all point FFT transformation to obtain the frequency domain received signal is expressed as: where H 1 and H 2 respectively represent the transmission channels from User 1 and User 2 to the base station, S 1 and S 2 respectively represent the received signals of the base station for User 1 and User 2, W represents the channel noise, and P r represents the received power configured by the system, are respectively the received powers of the base station for User 1 and User 2. Due to the distance relationship between the users and the base station, the power magnitudes satisfy: c2. Hybrid waveform data processing procedure: c2-1: Among the signal powers received by the base station, the received power of the proximal user is greater, and the interference to the other user is relatively greater. Therefore, the user signals are detected in the order from the user closest to the base station to the farthest. The serial interference cancellation method is used to detect the superimposed signal at the receiving end. First, Y is equalized to obtain the equalized symbol This is used as the signal Y to be detected for User 1 1 , assuming that the waveform used by User 1 is DFT-s-OFDM as set. The base station first extracts the data at the corresponding positions in the frequency domain, then transforms it to the time domain through IFFT, and finally performs M-order QAM demodulation to obtain the bit data of the first user. c2-2: To detect the data of the second user, first perform M-order QAM modulation, DFT, oversampling, and IFFT on the bit data of User 1 obtained in step c2-1 to obtain s′ 1 , and then perform FFT to convert it into a frequency-domain signal S′ 1 . After canceling the interference of User 1 from the received signal and then dividing by the corresponding power factor, the signal to be detected for User 2 is obtained It is expressed as follows: c2-3: When the base station does not know whether the waveform selected by User 2 is DFT-s-OFDM or CE-OFDM, first assume it is the DFT-s-OFDM waveform of the user, represents the channel estimation result from User 2 to the base station.

The following two options are both CE-OFDM demodulation methods. If the base station has weak processing capabilities and low performance requirements, perform step d1. If the base station has strong processing capabilities and high performance requirements, perform step d2. Option 1: First, transform Y 2 to the time domain for phase demodulation (i.e., arctangent demodulation), then perform an FFT transformation, extract the data at the corresponding positions, and perform M-QAM demodulation to obtain the second alternative bit data of user 2.

There are alternative vector spaces. Ω represents the set of all possible transmitted symbol vectors before phase modulation when user 2 at the transmitting end uses CE-OFDM. The set Ω contains elements. Then, estimate the user's data through the ML detection algorithm, that is, Keep the Euclidean distance Compare and If then the detection result of user 2 is If then finally convert the valid data in to the corresponding estimated bit sequence to obtain the detection result of user 2.

Setting the energy consumption threshold α is equivalent to 50% of the power. Assuming that the power of user 2 is lower than 50%, then the more energy-efficient CE-OFDM waveform is used.
