Abstract
Hybrid non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has recently received significant research interest due to its ability to efficiently use resources from different domains and also its compatibility with various orthogonal multiple access (OMA) based legacy networks. Unlike existing studies on hybrid NOMA that focus on combining NOMA with time-division multiple access (TDMA), this work considers hybrid NOMA assisted orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA). In particular, the impact of a unique feature of hybrid NOMA assisted OFDMA, i.e., the availability of users' dynamic channel state information, on the system performance is analyzed from the following two perspectives. From the optimization perspective, analytical results are developed which show that with hybrid NOMA assisted OFDMA, the pure OMA mode is rarely adopted by the users, and the pure NOMA mode could be optimal…
