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 first 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, the basic concept of NOMA is introduced, how the NOMA principle affects the design of the generation multiple access techniques is described, and various practical forms of NOMA developed by academia and industries are discussed. Finally, the talk is concluded with a discussion of important research challenges and promising future directions in the design of new forms of NOMA. |
