Rate-Splitting Multiple Access for Short-Packet Uplink Communications: A Finite Blocklength Error Probability Analysis (2207.07782v3)
Published 15 Jul 2022 in cs.IT and math.IT
Abstract: In this letter, we investigate Rate-Splitting Multiple Access (RSMA) for an uplink communication system with finite blocklength. Considering a two-user Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) Multiple Access Channel (MAC), we study the impact of Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), blocklength, power allocation and target rate on the error probability performance of RSMA where one user message is split. We demonstrate that RSMA can improve the error probability performance significantly compared to Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) and RSMA can have a larger rate region than NOMA.
