Lecture Abstract |
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is an essential enabling technology for the fifth generation (5G) wireless networks to meet the heterogeneous demands on low latency, high reliability, massive connectivity, improved fairness, and high throughput. This talk is the last part of the mini-workshop to provide a comprehensive survey of the impact of this emerging communication technique on future wireless networks. Particularly, in this talk, emerging applications of NOMA, including wireless caching, mobile edge computing (MEC), (semi)-grant-free transmission and high mobility communications, are discussed. The principle of these new designs is described, and their performance is also analyzed. Finally, the talk is concluded with a discussion of important research challenges and promising future directions in NOMA. |
