| contents | This paper, for the first time, presents a closed-form error performance analysis of uplink power-domain non-orthogonal multiple access (PD-NOMA) with dynamic successive interference cancellation (SIC) decoding, where the decoding order is adapted to the instantaneous channel conditions. We first develop an analytical framework that characterizes how dynamic ordering affects error probabilities in uplink PD-NOMA systems. For a two-user system over independent and non-identically distributed Rayleigh fading channels, we derive closed-form probability density functions (PDFs) of ordered channel gains and the corresponding unconditional pairwise error probabilities (PEPs). To address the mathematical complexity of characterizing ordered channel distributions, we employ a Gaussian fitting to approximate truncated distributions while maintaining analytical tractability. Finally, we extend the bit error rate analysis for various $M$-quadrature amplitude modulation schemes (QAM) in both homogeneous and heterogeneous scenarios. Numerical results validate the theoretical analysis and demonstrate that dynamic SIC eliminates the error floor issue observed in fixed-order SIC, achieving significantly improved performance in high signal-to-noise ratio regions. Our findings also highlight that larger power differences are essential for higher-order modulations, offering concrete guidance for practical uplink PD-NOMA deployment. |
