Performance of SCMA Systems in Fast-Fading Channels.

In order to satisfy the need for high data rate and high number of users, new generation communication techniques are developed. One of the techniques that may be used in future generation communication networks is Sparse Code Multiple Access (SCMA). With this new technique, the aim is to allocate users frequency resources in a non-orthogonal way by using code books. For this new technique, which is has a potential to be used in 5G and beyond communication networks, most researches have focused on flat fading channels and related results have been provided. In this work, different from earlier studies, fast fading channels have been considered for channels varying at different rates, and bit-error performance results have been provided with computer simulations.
