Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a promising method for the fifth generation (5G) cellular networks as it provides improved spectral efficiency by multiplexing users in power domain. One key challenge for the receivers in NOMA networks is to distinguish the individual signals that use the same band at the same time. Currently, the two widely discussed decoding schemes are successive interference cancellation (SIC) and parallel interference cancellation (PIC). Both schemes suppress the multi-user interference by subtracting the decoded signals from the received signal based on different algorithms, i.e., SIC decodes iteratively and PIC decodes collectively. This paper compares the computation time of SIC and PIC schemes at the base station and demonstrates multi-thread implementation of PIC.
