FrFT Angle Division Multiple Access with Optimal Time-Frequency-Angle Resource Distribution

Abstract

In this paper, optimal time-frequency-angle (TFA) resource distribution is proposed. It is achieved by fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) angle division multiple access (ADMA), and multiple data streams can be transmitted in the same frequency and time slot. Comparing with conventional time-frequency (TF) resource based orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, the exponential base at each sub-channel is replaced by a set of chirp bases, which keep mutually approximately orthogonal. Each base station (BS) can support more move stations (MSs) or cell throughput. Simulations show the essential advantages in TFA resource distribution and system spectrum efficiency.
