An apparatus serves a plurality of user equipments in a wireless communication system. For transmitting/receiving data of a plurality of user equipments, which include at least a first user equipment and a second user equipment, on resources shared by the plurality of user equipments, the apparatus transmits/receives a first data signal of the first user equipment and second data signal of the second user equipment using a non-orthogonal multiple access, NOMA, scheme. The first data signal and the second data signal are modulated using different waveforms prior to superposition of the first and second data signals.

A system and method for assigning users to a particular sub band in a given time slot in a NOMA system, where whichever pair of users corresponds to the smallest “candidate pair user throughput deviation value”, reflecting the aggregate of the respective difference between the average throughput across all users (K) and the known throughput of each of the two users under consideration (k.sub.1k.sub.2), and each user attributed to a sub-band other than the selected sub-band. User pairs for consideration may consider all possible pairs, or may be limited to candidate pairs satisfying together, or comprising one or both users who satisfy a criterion such as channel gain, distance to a target, throughput or a combination of some or all of these factors. The power allocated to each sub-band may be attributed by a waterfilling algorithm.

An adaptive receiver for UEs using NOMA-based schemes. One objective is to improve the achievable rate of the weak UE and improve the fairness among the grouped UEs. At the same time, an embodiment gives the chance to reduce the error probability of the strong UE. Thus, compared to conventional NOMA, an embodiment increases the network sum throughput.
