(NOMA) with a successive interference canceller (SIC) in the cellular downlink assuming
proportional fair (PF)-based radio resource (bandwidth and transmission power) allocation.
The purpose of this study is to examine the possibility of applying NOMA with a SIC to the
systems beyond the 4G cellular system. Both the mean and cell-edge user throughput are
important in a real system. PF-based scheduling is known to achieve a good tradeoff …
