Overview
Considering the rapidly expanding volume of traffic on mobile networks, the critical question is how the current telecommunication networks can be used to increase the access capacity, as well as the spectral and energy efficiency. In this context, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), is considered to be a promising and cost-efficient solution for the fifth generation (5G) wireless networks and beyond to meet the heterogeneous demands on low latency, high reliability, massive connectivity, and high quality-of-service (QoS) for all users. NOMA is fundamentally different to orthogonal multiple access (OMA), since it multiplexes users in power and/or code domain. Moreover, it has been proved that NOMA can be effectively combined with several other emerging technologies, in order to maximize the expected performance gain and/or retain the overall complexity at acceptable levels. Some examples are the combination of NOMA with OMA, multiple input multiple output (MIMO), cooperative systems, and the utilization of unlicensed frequency bands. On the other hand, NOMA creates several new challenges, such as user clustering, resource allocation, and practical/implementation/compatibility issues.
This special issue will provide a forum for the latest research and innovations in fundamental NOMA techniques and the coexistence with other key technologies, while it aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the design of NOMA-based systems. Prospective authors are invited to submit original manuscripts on topics including, but not limited to:
Waveforms, coding, and modulation for NOMA
