The invention discloses 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 field of
optical communication and
digital signal processing. In order to solve the problem that the peak-to-average
power ratio (PAPR) of a downlink sending
signal of a non-orthogonal multiple access
system modulated by adopting OFDM is relatively high, and to overcome the defects that a traditional C-SLM scheme is high in calculation complexity and extra bandwidth resources need to be occupied due to the high error rate of explicit
side information (SI), the invention provides a non-orthogonal multiple
access method based on the C-SLM scheme. An N-SLM scheme is provided according to the characteristic of superposition transmission of power domain
NOMA multi-user data on subcarriers. Compared with a C-SLM scheme, the scheme is low in calculation complexity and does not need to send explicit SI. The method mainly comprises the
generation process of alternative OFDM-
NOMA signals of a sending end and the
demodulation process of a receiving end. According to the invention, the sending end adopts information bit
cyclic shift, and inserts very few check bits subjected to repeated coding in a leading part to generate a plurality of pieces of alternative bit information, so that explicit transmission of SI is avoided. And performing
QAM modulation, power distribution and OFDM modulation on all the alternative bit information in sequence to generate a plurality of groups of OFDM signals with different power levels, and performing permutation, combination and linear superposition on the OFDM signals to synthesize a plurality of alternative OFDM-NOMA signals. And calculating the PAPR values of all the alternative OFDM-NOMA signals, and selecting the alternative OFDM-NOMA
signal with the minimum PAPR to carry out subsequent
signal processing. And a receiving end respectively performs soft
demodulation and hard
demodulation on
QAM symbols corresponding to the repeatedly coded check bit and the information bit, and performs corresponding reverse
cyclic shift on the received information bit according to the check bit which is judged to be output after repeated decoding. And after serial interference cancellation (SIC) is carried out on the low-power-
level data to obtain corresponding information, the same
processing process is carried out.
