The next generation Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to support extremely diverse applications and terminals, which requires the massive connectivity. Unfortunately, current mobile communication systems with orthogonal multiple access technique can hardly satisfy this demand. On the other hand, the narrow band property has become the trend of the next generation IoT, however, the problem of interference alleviation in the narrow band system is difficult to be resolved. Recently, the sparse code multiple access (SCMA), a non- orthogonal multiple access technique for 5G, shows the obvious improvement in user connectivity and system capacity. After carrier aggregation brought into the future network, The IoT could offer the frequency hopping mechanism larger bandwidth resources. In this paper, by introducing frequency hopping mechanism to the SCMA, a frequency-hopping based sparse code multiple access (FH-SCMA) multiple access technique is proposed to meet the demand of both massive connectivity and the improvement in the interference alleviation. Simulation results show that the FH-SCMA obtains a spectrum efficiency gain of almost 300% compared with the frequency division multiple access (FDMA) based IoT system with frequency-hopping, and the performance of interference alleviation can also be significantly improved by about 2 to 5 times over the FDMA with frequency hopping.
