Energy-efficient non-orthogonal multiple access for wireless communication system
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been recognized as a potential solution for enhancing the throughput of next-generation wireless communications. NOMA is a potential option for 5G networks due to its superiority in providing better spectrum efficiency (SE) compared to orthogonal multiple access (OMA). From the perspective of green communication, energy efficiency (EE) has become a new performance indicator. A systematic literature review is conducted to investigate the available energy efficient approach researchers have employed in NOMA. We identified 19 subcategories related to EE in NOMA out of 108 publications where 92 publications are from the IEEE website. To help the reader comprehend, a summary for each category is explained and elaborated in detail. From the literature review, it had been observed that NOMA can enhance the EE of wireless communication systems. At the end of this survey, future research particularly in machine learning algorithms such as reinforcement learning (RL) and deep reinforcement learning (DRL) for NOMA are also discussed
A Survey on UAV-enabled Edge Computing: Resource Management Perspective
Edge computing facilitates low-latency services at the network's edge by
distributing computation, communication, and storage resources within the
geographic proximity of mobile and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. The recent
advancement in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) technologies has opened new
opportunities for edge computing in military operations, disaster response, or
remote areas where traditional terrestrial networks are limited or unavailable.
In such environments, UAVs can be deployed as aerial edge servers or relays to
facilitate edge computing services. This form of computing is also known as
UAV-enabled Edge Computing (UEC), which offers several unique benefits such as
mobility, line-of-sight, flexibility, computational capability, and
cost-efficiency. However, the resources on UAVs, edge servers, and IoT devices
are typically very limited in the context of UEC. Efficient resource management
is, therefore, a critical research challenge in UEC. In this article, we
present a survey on the existing research in UEC from the resource management
perspective. We identify a conceptual architecture, different types of
collaborations, wireless communication models, research directions, key
techniques and performance indicators for resource management in UEC. We also
present a taxonomy of resource management in UEC. Finally, we identify and
discuss some open research challenges that can stimulate future research
directions for resource management in UEC.Comment: 36 pages, Accepted to ACM CSU
