On the Performance of NOMA Over Coded Caching in Cache-Aided Wireless Network

This paper centers around the examination of a downlink system comprising of a base station (BS) located at the center of a circular cell. Within this cell, we find cache-equipped users uniformly distributed. Our aim is to explore an innovative approach to enhance spectral efficiency by dividing the users into two groups, effectively utilizing the principles of nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and coded caching. Introducing the NOMA over coded caching scheme, we propose a novel method to elevate the service rate. We derive closedform expressions to accurately quantify the performance of NOMA over coded caching in terms of the service rate. Simulation experiments are conducted to validate the superiority of our proposed algorithm. The results demonstrate the remarkable efficacy of the NOMA over coded caching schemes in significantly improving the service rate, surpassing the conventional coded caching and non-encoding caching schemes.
