contents Despite being the subject of a growing body of research, non-orthogonal multiple access has failed to garner sufficient support to be included in modern standards. One of the more promising approaches to non-orthogonal multiple access is sparse code multiple access, which seeks to utilize non-orthogonal, sparse spreading codes to share bandwidth among users more efficiently than traditional orthogonal methods. Nearly all of the studies regarding sparse code multiple access assume synchronization at the receiver, which may not always be a practical assumption. In this work, we aim to bring this promising technology closer to a practical realization by dropping the assumption of synchronization. We therefore propose a compressed sensing-based delay estimation technique developed specifically for an uplink sparse code multiple access system. The proposed technique can be used with nearly all of the numerous decoding algorithms proposed in the existing literature, including the popular message passing approach. Furthermore, we derive a theoretical bound regarding the recovery performance of the proposed technique, and use simulations to demonstrate its viability in a practical uplink system.
