NON-ORTHOGONAL MULTIPLE ACCESS CONFIGURATION IN SPLIT BASE STATION ARCHITECTURES

摘要

The present disclosure describes techniques and apparatuses for non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) configuration procedures in split base station architectures, including the configuration of user equipment (UE) for NOMA transmission. The base station (120) receives a trigger (310; 410; 510; 610; 710; 810; 910; 1010) relating to a UE (110). Responsive to the trigger, the base station configures the UE to perform NOMA transmission by at least one of a Central Unit (121) of the base station transmitting a first message including the NOMA configuration to a Distributed Unit (122) of the base station and transmitting a second message including the NOMA configuration to the UE, the Central Unit transmitting the second message including the NOMA configuration to the UE, or the Distributed Unit transmitting a third message including the NOMA configuration to the Central Unit and the Central Unit transmitting the second message including the NOMA configuration to the UE.
