The fifth generation (5G) wireless network faces unprecedented massive concurrent random access requests in uplink (UL) contention-based (CB) transmission. In this paper, a non-orthogonal coded access (NOCA) UL transmission in combination with parallel interference cancellation (PIC) based reception scheme at base station is investigated. Non-orthonormal code generated by Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequences is used to spread the data bits over orthogonal frequency division multiple (OFDM) symbols. It is shown through both link level and system level simulations that in dense urban scenario NOCA-PIC scheme is capable of working in highly overloaded system conditions. It can support more than 4 times concurrent random access number compared with OFDM based CB transmission.
