Abstract

A CSI-constrained UE grouping system for dense uplink NOMA systems. For example, a network node (e.g., an access point, such as a base station) determines which UEs should be grouped based on the uplink (UL) rate demand (UL traffic demand), and sends appropriate parameters to those UEs for UL transmission.
