Abstract
In a Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) system, a user equipment (UE) can be configured to transmit signals with multiple access (MA) signatures. If a base station configures multiple MA signatures to a UE, the UE can select one or more MA signatures, then transmit signals in parallel, serial, or in hybrid ways. Due to the flexibility and complexity of the UE selecting MA signatures without an explicit configuration from the base station, additional control overhead is provided to support parallel HARQ processing. In addition, a new DCI format is disclosed that supports multi-branch NOMA transmission, which allows multiple ACK/NACKs within a DCI. Further, using the techniques disclosed herein, a base station can explicitly indicate ACK-NACKs without being assisted by a HARQ ID field.
