Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein provide a fairness and complexity-constrained uplink NOMA scheme. For example, various embodiments set the power/resource allocation for a particular UE (e.g., a weak UE) such that the minimum rate requirement of the UE is guaranteed, independently of the activation status of another UE (e.g., a strong UE). Additionally, in some embodiments the access point selects whether the UE uses a NOMA or OMA depending on the relative performance gain/cost of NOMA.
