The NOMA Principle

The NOMA (Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access) principle is a technique in wireless communications that allows multiple users to share the same frequency and time resources simultaneously. Unlike traditional methods where users are separated by different frequencies or time slots, NOMA uses advanced signal processing to differentiate overlapping signals based on their power levels. This increases network capacity and efficiency, enabling more users to be served at once. Essentially, NOMA maximizes the use of available spectrum by efficiently multiplexing users, leading to faster, more reliable wireless connections, especially important for supporting the growing number of devices in modern networks.
