A scheme transmitting superposition coding (SC), which superimposes unicast data to multicast data, using opportunistic multicast scheduling (OMS) scheme, is proposed and its performance is evaluated and simulated in this paper. Although the scheme is a little weaker than traditional scheme using QPSK modulation method in bit error rate (BER) performance, its throughput and system time delay
... [Show full abstract] promote considerably. Numerical results show that when user channel condition is weak and signal to noise ratio (SNR) is not high, the new scheme can outperform the conventional scheme in terms of system performances.
