It is known that the orthogonal multiple access OMA guarantees for homogeneous networks where all users have almost the same received power a higher degree of fairness in rate than that provided by successive interference cancellation SIC . The situation changes in heterogeneous networks where the received powers are very disparate and SIC becomes superior to OMA. In this paper we propose to partition the network into almost homogeneous subnetworks such that the users within each subnetwork employ OMA and SIC is utilized across subnetworks. The newly proposed scheme is equivalent to partition the users into ordered groups. The main contribution is a practical algorithm for finding the ordered partition that maximizes the minimum rate. We also give a geometrical interpretation for the rate-vector yield by our algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed strategy leads to a good tradeoff between fairness and the asymptotic multiuser efficiency. 1. Introduction and Preliminaries Rate allocation in multiuser communication systems is an important task which should consider simultaneously the fairness and the spectral efficiency. This paper is focused on fairness of .
