Keynote 1: Mobile Edge Computing and NOMA
Prof. Zhiguo Ding (Manchester University, U.K.)

 

Abstract: This talk is to illustrate the coexistence between two important communication techniques, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and mobile edge computing (MEC). In particular, both NOMA uplink and downlink transmissions are applied to MEC, and analytical results are provided to demonstrate that
the use of NOMA can efficiently reduce the latency and energy consumption of MEC offloading. In addition, various asymptotic studies are also provided to reveal the impact of the users' channel conditions and transmit powers on the performance for the application of NOMA to MEC is quite different to those in conventional NOMA scenarios. Furthermore, joint optimization for power and time allocation to minimize the energy consumption for  NOMA-MEC offloading is also illustrated, by applying geometric program, where simulation results are also provided to demonstrate the superior performance of NOMA-MEC.

Bio: Zhiguo Ding received his B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering from the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications in 2000, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Imperial College London in 2005. From Jul. 2005 to Aug. 2014, he was working in Queen's University Belfast, Imperial College, and Newcastle University. Since Sept. 2014, he has been with Lancaster University as a Chair Professor in Signal Processing. From Sept. 2012 to Sept. 2016, he has also been an academic visitor at Princeton University.

He is serving as an Editor for IEEE Transactions on Communications, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, IEEE Wireless Communication Letters, IEEE Communication Letters, and Journal of Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing. He received the best paper award in IET Comm. Conf. on Wireless, Mobile and Computing, 2009 and the WCSP 2015, IEEE Communication Letter Exemplary Reviewer 2012, and the EU Marie Curie Fellowship 2012-2014.

 

 

Keynote 2: NOMA: Common Myths and Critical Questions
Prof. Mojtaba Vaezi (Villanova University, USA)

Abstract: Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has received notable attention for the design of radio access techniques for the fifth generation (5G) wireless networks and beyond, not just from academia, but also from the industry. While NOMA has gained significant attention from the communications community, it has also been subject to several widespread misunderstandings, such as "NOMA is based on allocating higher power to users with worse channel conditions. As such, cell-edge users receive more power in NOMA and due to this biased power allocation toward cell-edge users inter-cell interference is more severe in NOMA compared to OMA." Looking from an information-theoretic perspective, the above statements are false. In this talk, we aim at identifying such common myths about NOMA and clarifying why they are not true. We also pose critical questions that are important for the effective adoption of NOMA in 5G and beyond and identify promising research directions for NOMA, which will require intense investigation in the future.

Bio: Mojtaba Vaezi received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from McGill University in 2014. From 2015 to 2018, he held several research positions at Princeton University. He is currently an Assistant Professor of ECE at Villanova University. His research interests include the broad areas of wireless communications and information theory. Among his publications in these areas is the book Multiple Access Techniques for 5G Wireless Networks and Beyond (Springer, 2019). Dr. Vaezi has served as the president of McGill IEEE Student Branch and the head of Mobile Radio Network Design and Optimization Department at Ericsson. He has been an Editor of IEEE Communications Magazine and IEEE Communications Letters, and he has co-organized five NOMA workshops at IEEE VTC 2017-Spring, Globecom’17, ICC’18, Globecom’18, and ICC’19. Dr. Vaezi is a recipient of several academic, leadership, and research awards, including the IEEE Larry K. Wilson Regional Student Activities Award in 2013, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2014, and Ministry of Science and ICT of Korea’s best paper award in 2017.
