ABSTRACT
Over the last few years, interference has been a major hurdle for successfully implementing various end-user applications in the fifth-generation (5G) of wireless networks. During this era, several communication protocols and standards have been developed and used by the community. However, interference persists, keeping given quality of service (QoS) provision to end-users for different 5G applications. To mitigate the issues mentioned above, in this paper, we present an in-depth survey of state-of-the-art non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) variants having power and code domains as the backbone for interference mitigation, resource allocations, and QoS management in the 5G environment. These are future smart communication and supported by device-to-device (D2D), cooperative communication (CC), multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO), and heterogeneous networks (HetNets). From the existing literature, it has been observed that NOMA can resolve most of the issues in the existing proposals to provide contention-based grant-free transmissions between different devices. The key differences between the orthogonal multiple access (OMA) and NOMA in 5G are also discussed in detail. Moreover, several open issues and research challenges of NOMA-based applications are analyzed. Finally, a comparative analysis of different existing proposals is also discussed to provide deep insights to the readers.
