Abstract
Methods and apparatus for increasing spectral efficiency in non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) communication, that implement receiving a signal stream from a user, splitting the signal stream into a plurality of sub-streams, applying a forward error coding (FEC) to each one of the sub-streams, and outputting a corresponding plurality of FEC encoded sub-streams. This can include modulating a corresponding carrier with each of the FEC encoded sub-streams, and combining and transmitting the corresponding plurality of modulated carrier signals. The modulated carrier signals can each carry a respective one of the FEC encoded sub-streams.
