Abstract

This paper investigates non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with stop-and-wait (SW) automatic repeat request (ARQ) for heterogeneous Internet of Things (IoT) networks with mixed modulation orders. In this system, two users with different service requirements share a NOMA-based backhaul link, where one user employs a higher-order modulation to support high data-rate transmission, while the other employs a lower-order modulation to enhance reliability. To ensure fairness between the two users, a round-robin (RR) power-allocation scheme is considered, in which the primary and secondary decoding roles alternate across transmission sessions. Building on this framework, iterative interference cancellation (IIC) is applied offline at the IoT gateway (IoG) to recover dropped packets without requiring additional retransmissions. Numerical results show that the proposed RR-IIC scheme enhances the throughput of the higher-order modulation user by recovering dropped packets, achieving up to 12 dB reduction in packet drop rate (PDR), while achieving PDR performance close to that of orthogonal multiple access (OMA) and higher overall throughput.
