Specifically, we first exploit the upper bound of bit error probability (BEP) of an SCMA-aided NTN with large-scale fading of different users under Rician fading channels. Then, the codebook is designed by employing pulse-amplitude modulation constellation, user-specific rotation and power factors. To further reduce the optimization complexity while maintaining the power diversity of different users, an orthogonal layer-assisted joint layer and power assignment strategy is proposed. Finally, unlike existing SCMA codebook designs that treat all users as one super-user, we propose to minimize the BEP of the worst user to ensure user fairness. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is capable of providing a substantial performance gain over conventional codebooks.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.04928v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2504.04928v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"advanced-codebook-design-for-scma-aided-ntns","repo_url":"https://github.com/ethanlq/scma-codebook","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"diversity","task_name":"Diversity"},{"task_slug":"fairness","task_name":"Fairness"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
