Abstract

5G wireless technology is accessible to a much larger user base compared to previous cellular networks. Users can connect to base stations (BSs) in a variety of methods, including of frequency division multiplexing (FDM), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), orthogonal multiple access (OMA), and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). NOMA is considered to be the best one for 5G. Additionally, NOMA employs radio resource optimization and interference control techniques to enhance spectrum network efficiency and support extremely large connections, such as successive interference cancellation (SIC). Users can be divided into two categories: strong and weak. While weak users may experience a low data rate, strong users need a high one. In this paper, we examine the two users in relation to transmit power, the indicative bit error rate (BER), outage probability (OP), and rate attainable capacity using additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. Moreover, we compare the BER and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) per bit for two users, showing that the Rician fading channel performs better than the Rayleigh fading channel. The use of NOMA technology is the optimal choice and indicates an improvement in the precision of data transmission within the communication system, particularly in the presence of noise and interference.
