The application is an improved selective mapping scheme (N-SLM) for an
orthogonal frequency division multiplexing non-orthogonal multiple access
passive optical network (OFDM-
NOMA PON), and relates to the technical fields of
optical communication and
digital signal processing. In order to solve the problem of
high peak-to-average
power ratio (PAPR) of downlink signals in a non-orthogonal multiple access
system using OFDM modulation, aiming at the shortcomings of high computational complexity of a traditional selective mapping (C-SLM) scheme and high error rate of explicit
side information (SI) requiring additional bandwidth resources, the N-SLM scheme is proposed according to the characteristics of superimposed transmission of power domain
NOMA multi-user data on subcarriers. Compared with the C-SLM scheme, the scheme has low computational complexity and does not need to send explicit SI. The application mainly includes the generation of alternative OFDM-
NOMA signals at the sending end and the
demodulation process at the receiving end. The sending end adopts information bit
cyclic shift and inserts a few repeated coded check bits in the
preamble part to generate multiple alternative bit information, thereby avoiding the explicit transmission of SI. All alternative bit information is sequentially subjected to
QAM modulation, power allocation and OFDM modulation to generate multiple groups of OFDM signals with different power levels, which are arranged and combined to linearly superimpose multiple alternative OFDM-NOMA signals. The PAPR values of all alternative OFDM-NOMA signals are calculated, and the alternative OFDM-NOMA
signal with the minimum PAPR is selected for subsequent
signal processing. The receiving end respectively performs soft
demodulation and hard
demodulation on the
QAM symbols corresponding to the repeated coded check bits and information bits, and performs corresponding reverse
cyclic shift on the received information bits according to the check bits output by the repeated decoding. After the low-power-
level data is subjected to successive interference cancellation (SIC) to obtain the corresponding information, the same
processing process is performed.
