Abstract

A method for performing constellation superposition by an evolved Node B (eNB) includes determining an admissible data constellation for a second user equipment (UE) based on a data constellation of a first UE. The first UE and the second UE share the same time-frequency resources. The method also includes sending an indication that superposition coded modulation is being employed by the first UE and the second UE. The method further includes sending modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) and/or transmission power percentages used by each of the first UE and the second UE to the other UE.
