Cellular networks provide communication for different applications. Some applications have strict and very short latency requirements, while others require high bandwidth with varying priorities. The challenge of satisfying the requirements…
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a promising radio access technology for 5G. It allows several users to transmit on the same frequency and time resource by performing power-domain multiplexing. At the receiver side, successive…
