Systems and methods are described, and one method includes allocate a continuous duration within a TDMA scheme, for asynchronous NOMA transmissions, and extending from an allocation start time to an allocation termination time, formed of contiguous time slots of the TDMA scheme, and included providing to asynchronous NOMA user terminals an indication of the allocation start time and termination time, indicating allowance to perform asynchronous NOMA transmissions within a start time constraint that starts of the asynchronous NOMA transmissions do not precede the allocation start time, and terminations of the asynchronous NOMA transmissions do not succeed the allocation termination time.
