Novel Power-Imbalanced Dense Codebooks for Reliable Multiplexing in Nakagami Channels
This paper studies enhanced dense code multiple access (DCMA) system design for downlink transmission over the Nakagami-m fading channels. By studying the DCMA pairwise error probability (PEP) in a Nakagami-m channel, a novel design metric called minimum logarithmic sum distance (MLSD) is first derived. With respect to the proposed MLSD, we introduce a new family of power-imbalanced dense codebooks by deleting certain rows of a special non-unimodular circulant matrix. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed dense codebooks lead to both larger minimum Euclidean distance and MLSD, thus yielding significant improvements of error performance over the existing sparse code multiple access and conventional unimodular DCMA schemes in Nakagami-m fading channels under different overloading factors.
