A fixed communication network is disclosed in which a plurality of transmitters feed signals via tributary transmission lines of different lengths onto a shared network component. A timing reference signal is distributed to the transmitters. The shared network component in some embodiments takes the form of a transmission line. In order to enable the sharing of the capacity of the shared network component, each of the plurality of transmitters codes data for transmission in accordance with a code division multiple access scheme. The efficiency of usage of the shared network component is improved by synchronizing the arrival of the encoded bits at the shared network component. This is achieved by populating a store within each transmitter with a pre-set timing offset, and timing the transmission of data in accordance with the timing reference signal received by the transmitters and the pre-set timing offset.

Embodiments are provided to enable downlink open-loop multi-user coordinated multipoint (MU-CoMP) transmission using sparse code multiple access (SCMA). In an embodiment, a network controller selects, in a cluster of multiple transmission points (TPs) and multiple user equipment (UEs), a MU-CoMP with SCMA transmission mode and a UE paring scheme for data transmission from a set of TPs to a set of UEs. The controller schedules the set of UEs for data transmission from the set of TPs, including coordinating and allocating, for each TP in the set of TPs, a plurality of SCMA layers to the UEs in accordance with the selected MU CoMP with SCMA transmission mode. The controller also determines values for control signaling based on the scheduling. The control signaling configures the set of UEs to detect the data transmission from the TPs.
