Abstract—Nowadays, many devices require a wireless Internet connection, while the available frequency spectrum is limited. The nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a multiplexing technology that can significantly improve spectral efficiency and thus solve this problem. In this paper, the use of NOMA in Wi-Fi networks with two traffic types, Web traffic and Internet of Things (IoT) traffic, is investigated. Web traffic is one of the main Internet traffic types. It consists of relatively small data flows that need to be quickly delivered to users. IoT traffic consists of very short data flows compared to Web traffic, but there can be a lot of IoT flows due to a large number of IoT devices. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for resource allocation in Wi-Fi networks with the NOMA. This algorithm takes into account the traffic of both types and its performance is investigated by simulation.
