Abstract

The blind detection algorithm for modulation order (MOD) of interference user in power-domain non-orthogonal multiple access (NO-MA) is studied by academics. Maximum likelihood method is the optimal approach, but with huge computational complexity. A sub-optimal approach based on max-log approximation is deduced which can reduce computational complexity, but with performance degradation. This paper investigates an improved blind detection algorithm for modulation order based on max-log likelihood approach in NOMA systems. Unlike the other two algorithms, the proposed algorithm takes the statistical characteristics of the received signal into consideration. The complexity analysis and link-level simulation results are provided to verify that the proposed method outperforms the max-log likelihood method with a little additional computational complexity, and it is a good trade-off between complexity and performance.
