Abstract

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is an attractive multiple access technique to achieve the optimal system capacity region. A great deal of recent attention has been devoted to the study of the NOMA system capacity performance. However, the exact bit error rate (BER) expressions of NOMA systems have not been derived yet. We provide the exact closed-form BER expressions of the QPSK constellation for an uplink NOMA system over an additive white Gaussian noise channel. Finally, the validity of our derived BER expressions is verified through simulations.
