T1: Non-orthogonal Multiple Access: Current State of the Art and Future Directions
Presented by: Zhiguo Ding (Chair Professor, Lancaster University, the UK)
Time: 8:30–12:00
Room: C2-5
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, the application of NOMA in millimeter-wave (mmWave) networks, 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 application of NOMA in mmWave networks will be introduced. Similar to NOMA, the motivation for using mmWave communications is motivated by the spectrum crunch, but the solution provided by mmWave communications is to use mmWave bands which are less occupied compared to those used by current cellular networks. This talk to show that the use of NOMA is still important to mmWave networks, even though more bandwidth resources are available in very high frequencies, since the huge demands on bandwidth resources due to the exponential growth of broadband traffic can be met only by acquiring more radio spectrum and also efficiently using these acquired spectrum.
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.

Wireless communication technologies are ubiquitous nowadays. Most of the smart devices have Cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth connections. These technologies have been developed for many years, nonetheless they are still being enhanced. For instance, Wi-Fi has been enhanced from IEEE 802.11a/b/g standards to IEEE 802.11n/ac standards. More development can be expected in the next 5 years, such as faster transmission data rate, more efficient spectrum usage, lower power consumption, etc. Similarly, cellular networks have been evolved for several generations.

Secure wireless communications will certainly be part of other advances in the industry such as multimedia streaming, data storage and sharing in clouds, mobile cloud computing services, etc.
Wireless security is one of the most important topics and attracting more and more attention from industry, research, and academia. Network system security encompasses integrity, authentication, confidentiality and non-repudiation of both user and management information. Unlike wired communication networks that have some degree of physical security, physical security in mobile wireless communication networks is impossible to achieve on wireless links (because of the broadcast nature) and therefore security attacks on information flow are the most widespread. Modification of information is possible because of the nature of the channel and the mobility of nodes. The radio channel is harsh and subject to interference, fading, multipath, and high error rates. As a result, packet losses are common even without security threats. An opponent can make use of these natural impairments to modify information and also render the information unavailable. This tutorial will address all these issues. Special attention will be paid to wireless specific issues, e.g., tradeoffs between security and power consumption, adaptively changing security protocols in response to the radio channel, etc. This tutorial covers the topics on security for next generation mobile wireless networks, with focusing on 4G (LTE and LTE-A) and 5G mobile wireless network systems, followed by a discussion on the challenges and open research issues in the area.
