Abstract—Recently, stochastic geometry models have been shown to provide tractable and accurate performance bounds for cellular wireless networks including multi-tier and cognitive cellular networks, underlay device-to-device (D2D) communications, energy harvesting-based communication, coordinated multipoint transmission (CoMP) transmissions, full-duplex (FD) communications, etc. These technologies will enable the evolving fifth generation (5G) cellular networks. Stochastic geometry, the theory of point processes in particular, can capture the location-dependent interactions among the coexisting network entities. It provides a rich set of mathematical tools to model and analyze cellular networks with different types of cells (e.g., macro cell, micro cell, pico cell, or femto cell) with different characteristics, in terms of several key performance indicators such as SINR coverage probability, link capacity, and network capacity. This tutorial will provide an extensive overview of the stochastic geometry modeling approaches for next-generation cellular networks, and the state-of-the-art research on this topic. After motivating the requirement for spatial modeling for the evolving 5G cellular networks, the basics of stochastic geometry modeling tools and the related mathematical preliminaries will be discussed. Then, a comprehensive survey on the literature related to stochastic geometry models for single-tier as well as multi-tier and cognitive cellular networks and underlay D2D communications will be presented. Then, a taxonomy of the stochastic geometry modeling approaches based on the target network model, the point process used, and the performance evaluation technique will be discussed.

Abstract—MIMO processing plays a central part towards the recent increase in spectral efficiencies of wireless networks. MIMO has grown beyond the original point-to-point channel and nowadays refers to a diverse range of centralized and distributed deployments. The fundamental bottleneck towards enormous spectral efficiencies in multiuser MIMO networks lies in a huge demand for accurate channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT). This has become increasingly difficult to satisfy due to the increasing number of antennas and access points in 5G networks relying on dense heterogeneous networks and transmitters equipped with a large number of antennas. CSIT inaccuracy results in a multi-user interference problem that is the primary bottleneck of MIMO wireless networks. Looking backward, the problem has been to strive to apply techniques designed for perfect CSIT to scenarios with imperfect CSIT. This tutorial departs from this conventional approach and introduces the audience to a promising strategy based on rate-splitting. Rate-splitting relies on the transmission of common messages (decoded by multiple users) and private messages (decoded by their corresponding users). This strategy is shown to provide significant benefits in terms of spectral efficiencies, reliability and CSI feedback overhead reduction over conventional strategies used in LTE-A and exclusively relying on private messages. The benefits of rate-splitting will be further demonstrated in a wide range of scenarios: multi-user MIMO, massive MIMO, multi-cell MIMO, overloaded systems, Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA), multigroup multicast and caching. Open problems, impact on standard specifications and operational challenges will also be discussed.

T4: Non-orthogonal Multiple Access: Evolution towards 5G and B5G Cellular Networks

Presented by: Zhiguo Ding, Chair Professor, Lancaster University, UK

Time: 13:30–17:00
Room: Fontaine E

[ Close ]

Abstract—Multiple access in 5G mobile networks is an emerging research topic, since it is key for the next generation network to keep pace with the exponential growth of mobile data and multimedia traffic. Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has recently received considerable attention as a promising candidate for 5G multiple access. The key idea of NOMA is to exploit the power domain for multiple access, which means multiple users can be served concurrently at the same time, frequency, and spreading code. Instead of using water-filling power allocation strategies, NOMA allocates more power to the users with poorer channel conditions, with the aim to facilitate a balanced tradeoff between system throughput and user fairness. Recent industrial demonstrations show that the use of NOMA can significantly improve the spectral efficiency of mobile networks. Because of such a superior performance, NOMA has been also recently proposed for downlink scenarios in 3rd generation partnership project long-term evolution (3GPP-LTE) systems, and the considering technique was termed multiuser superposition transmission (MUST). In this tutorial, we will provide a progress review for NOMA, including an information theoretic perspective of NOMA, the interaction between cognitive radio and NOMA, the design of MIMO and cooperative NOMA, and the impact of practical constraints, such as imperfect channel state information and limited feedback, on the performance of NOMA.

Objectives
1. Review for the overall requirements to realize spectrally efficient 5G communications.

2. The tutorial will start by introducing the basic concepts of NOMA in a simple scenario with one base station and multiple users, where each node is equipped with a single antenna. The performance gain of NOMA will be illustrated from an information theoretic perspective.

3. The interaction between the two 5G concepts, NOMA and cognitive ratio networks will be illustrated. On one hand, NOMA can be viewed as a special case of cognitive radio networks, which means that many solutions obtained from cognitive radio networks, particularly power allocation polices, can be applied to NOMA. On the other hand, the application of NOMA in cognitive radio networks can ensure secondary users are admitted in a more spectrally efficient way.

4. The combination of MIMO technologies and NOMA will be described. Unlike conventional multiple access techniques, the design of MIMO-NOMA is challenging. For example, power allocation of NOMA requires a step to order users according to their channel conditions. This user ordering is possible for SISO cases since it is easy to compare scalar channel coefficients, but it is difficult in MIMO scenarios in the presence of channel matrices/vectors. A few designs of MIMO-NOMA with different trade-offs between system performance and complexity will be illustrated.

5. The design of cooperative NOMA will be discussed. Note that in an NOMA system, successive interference cancellation is used, which means that some users know the other users’ information perfectly. Such priori information should be used, e.g., some users can be exploited as relays to help the others with poorer channel conditions. A few examples of cooperative NOMA protocols will be introduced and their advantages/disadvantages will be illustrated.

6. The impact of channel state information (CSI) on the performance of NOMA will be investigated. Three types of CSI assumptions will be focused. The first is the case with imperfect channel state information, which introduces an error floor to the probability of detection. The second is that the base station knows the statistical information about CSI, and particularly we will focus on the case when the path loss is known perfectly at the transmitter. The third is the case with limited feedback, such as one or finite bits feedback. The trade-off of performance and complexity realized by these CSI types will be illustrated and compared.

7. Recent standardization activities related to NOMA will be provided as well. Particularly the tutorial will focus on the implementation of multi-user superposition transmission (MUST), a technique which has been included into 3GPP LTE Release 13. Different forms of MUST, and their relationship to the fundamental form of NOMA will be discussed.

8. Challenges and open problems about realizing spectrally efficient NOMA communications in the next generation of wireless networks will be discussed.

Abstract—Low-latency applications have been envisioned to play key roles in the 5G environments. The ultra low-latency operations of communications and computing enable many potential mission-critical IoT applications and thus have gained widespread attention. Emerging 5G services, such as Tactile Internet, intelligent transportation system, and augment reality, require low latency support from communications infrastructure. Providing low end-to-end latency communications require integrated system design approach. Pushing communication and computing processing to network edge leads lower latency. Fog networking is a promising approach to provide low-latency services. In this tutorial, we will first discuss some of the system architecture. Recent research advances in MEC (Mobile Edge Computing) and Fog-RAN (Fog-based Radio Access Network) applied computing paradigm along with the next generation RAN design to meet the low-latency application demands in 5G. Edge computing resource in RAN could be used to for low latency computation jobs. Moreover, diverse application requirements are expected in the 5G era. Flexible radio access network design is needed to serve mixed low-latency and delay-tolerant traffic. An adaptive Fog-RAN resource allocation scheme is proposed for efficient utilization of edge computing resource in diverse traffic scenarios. In the emerging mission-critical IoT services, secure system design will be very important. Additionally, we will discuss the security threats and countermeasures in the new Fog Networking paradigm. Secure fog networking design paradigm will be illustrated in the vehicular communications and intelligent transportation systems.

Abstract—Communication at millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies is defining a new era of wireless communication. The mmWave band relieves spectral gridlock at lower frequencies by offering much higher bandwidth communication channels than presently used in commercial wireless systems. The next generation of wireless local area networks is exploiting the mmWave unlicensed band at 60 GHz to provide multi-gigabit-persecond data rates. There is also growing interest in using mmWave licensed spectrum for 5G cellular systems at other mmWave frequencies. The potential for mmWave is immense.

The large spectral channels at mmWave frequencies provide a means of achieving much higher data rates in vehicular communication systems. High data rates can be used for exchanging low-level sensing data (i.e., without much processing) or for infotainment applications to improve traffic safety and efficiency as well as user experience onboard.

This tutorial provides an overview of mmWave vehicular communication with an emphasis on results on channel measurements, the physical (PHY) layer, and the medium access control (MAC) layer. The main objective is to summarize key findings in each area, with special attention paid to identifying important topics of future research. In addition to surveying existing work, some new simulation results are also presented to give insights on the effect of directionality and blockage, which are the two distinguishing features of mmWave vehicular channels. A main conclusion is that given the renewed interest in high rate vehicle connectivity, many challenges remain in the design of a mmWave vehicular network.
