Space–time block coded non-orthogonal multiple access for performance enhancement of underwater acoustic sensor networks

In this letter, we propose space–time block coded non-orthogonal multiple access (STBC-NOMA) for underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) to improve reliability by exploiting transmit diversity and spectral efficiency. We derive mathematical expressions for ergodic rate, outage probability and en...
