Conventional SCMA<br>\nis a multidimensional codebook-based non-orthogonal spreading<br>\ntechnique, in which each layer of incoming bits is directly mapped to<br>\nmultidimensional codewords which have nonzero entries on the same<br>\nresources. In this paper, unlike the traditional SCMA scheme, the data<br>\nbits to be transmitted determine the nonzero entry locations based on<br>\nthe permutation. The proposed SCMA codebooks are converted to a<br>\nmultiuser code-division multiple-access (CDMA) detection system before<br>\napplying an iterative decoder. The complexity of the proposed<br>\niterative decoder is lower in comparison to exponential message<br>\npassing algorithm (MPA) and outperforms in terms of bit-error-rate<br>\n(BER).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speaker bio:<\/strong> Michel K.

He is also employed as an<br>\nembedded software designer at Harris Corporation in Ottawa, where he<br>\nis working on designing and developing software platform for<br>\nAir-to-Ground, Ground-to-Ground IP-based ATM voice communication<br>\nsystems. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineer<br>\nfrom the State University of New York at Buffalo in 2007 and 2012,<br>\nrespectively. He had previously received his B.S. degree in<br>\nElectronics Engineering and Computer Science (Minor), with \u201cSumma Cum<br>\nLaude\u201d from the American University in Cairo (AUC) in 2005. He was<br>\nemployed at Alcatel-Lucent, in Ottawa, Ontario, in 2012, to conduct<br>\nR&amp;D in the area of Next Generation Cloud Based Wireless Network<br>\nArchitecture. In the same year he was appointed as a Research<br>\nAssociate at EION Inc.
