In machine type communication (MTC) networks major practical deployment and implementation issues are network congestion, coverage, energy self-sufficiency, scalability and modeling. When the MTC network operates with a large number of MTC devices called massive MTC (mMTC), it mainly suffers from congestion problems. In such scenarios, promising techniques are required for MTC networks to alleviate such congestion problems which are actually happening by massive signaling overhead. To tackle this issue, advanced multiple access techniques called non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) have been proposed for mMTC networks to improve the massive access. Basically, NOMA is classified into code-domain NOMA and power-domain NOMA, however many wireless networks are implemented with power-domain NOMA due its easy implementation.
NOMA is expected to meet the new 6G performance requirements, especially for massive connectivity, furthermore, the integration of NOMA with new physical layer techniques is considered as a new application scenario of NOMA towards 6G. Machine learning based NOMA networks makes the multiple access in an intelligent manner for the next generation networks.
Several interesting recent problems and possible solutions on mMTC networks are group based machine-to-machine communications for radio resource management and spectrum sharing which increase the network throughput, wireless-powered MTC networks which provides the solution for the limited energy mMTC networks and stochastic geometry for modeling the deployment of mMTC solve the issue of ubiquitous coverage of MTC devices and random nature of their locations.
The main motivation of this workshop is to attract the people who are focusing on the topic of next generation multiple access techniques on mMTC networks to share their research contributions and to learn new innovative ideas from the people living with different cultures all over the world. This workshop is also aiming to promote further collaboration within the researchers working in this research paradigm. Moreover, this workshop is targeted towards bringing together research and industry partners to present and discuss preliminary research results, ongoing work and experiences on these emerging multiple access techniques that can support the beginners to get a strong foundation in this field.
