From an information-theoretic perspective, it is well-known that future radio access (FRA), this paper discusses the concept and non-orthogonal user multiplexing using superposition coding at the practical considerations of non-orthogonal multiple access transmitter and SIC at the receiver not only outperforms orthogonal (NOMA) with a successive interference canceller (SIC) at the multiplexing, but also is optimal in the sense of achieving the receiver side. The goal is to clarify the benefits of NOMA over capacity region of the downlink broadcast channel [4]. Note that orthogonal multiple access (OMA) such as OFDMA adopted by NOMA can also be applied to uplink (multiple access channel) with Long-Term Evolution (LTE). Practical considerations of NOMA, SIC applied at the BS side [4,6]. In previous works [6-12], system- such as multi-user power allocation, signalling overhead, SIC level gains of NOMA were investigated in both downlink and uplink. error propagation, performance in high mobility scenarios, and
