Multiple Access Schemes for Wireless Cellular Networks - Survey

Abstract

The achievement of future development goals in 5G is dependent on the implementation of ITU-published usage scenarios, enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC), and Ultra-reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC). To support these usage scenarios, an efficient multiple access scheme must be implemented, as classical multiple access schemes used in previous generations will not. Non-orthogonal multiple access schemes are the answer to today's needs for high spectrum efficiency, low latency, accommodating a larger number of users, and providing justice to users who are far from the base station. This survey's condensed overview of various orthogonal and non-orthogonal multiple access schemes is expected to assist researchers in developing new multiple access schemes for 5G and beyond.
