Focused Tutorial on NOMA at ADCOM 2019

Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) is an emerging research topic which promises to increase network throughput and supports massive connectivity in 5G networks. Two techniques, Power Domain NOMA and Code Domain NOMA are emerging as promising candidates to facilitate spectral-efficiency and user-fairness in mobile networks. NOMA has been successfully adopted in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and Digital TV (DTV) Standard for ATSC 3.0.

This tutorial will cover:
1. NOMA and types of NOMA
2. Information-theoretic results on the optimality of NOMA versus other Orthogonal Multiple Access (OMA) techniques
3. Design of MIMO (Multi-input Multi-Output) cooperative NOMA
4. Integration of NOMA with other 5G-related technologies such as massive MIMO, cognitive radio, millimeter wave communication and visible light communication

The tutorial will also focus on future research trends in NOMA and some open research problems and is most relevant to Research scholars, Graduate and Undergraduate students and Researchers from the industry.

This tutorial is most relevant to:
1. Research scholars
2. research-oriented graduate and undergraduate students
3. Researchers from the industry
