| Description | In 5G millimeter wave enabled communications, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheme is a potential candidate to increase the capacity as well as for the grant free ultra reliable low latency communications (URLLC). Hence it is essential to analyze the system under different scenarios before the commercial implementation. Considered scenarios are cooperative NOMA with full-duplex (FD) and half-duplex (HD) schemes. Rigorous mathematical analysis have been done and verified by computer simulation. In 5G, network is mostly heterogeneous. Hence, resource allocation is challenging. Novel resource allocation design has been done for NOMA-enhanced heterogeneous networks (HetNets), where small cell base stations (SBSs) are enabled to communicate with multiple small cell users (SCUs) via the NOMA protocol. The resource allocation problem with the aim of maximizing the sum rate of SCUs is formulated as a many-to-one matching game. To solve this game, we developed a novel distributed algorithm where the SBSs and resource blocks (RBs) can interact to decide their desired allocation. Besides, we published an IEEE Proceeding overview article which is highly useful for academic as well as industrial researchers who work in NOMA area. We extended this work to millimeter wave enabled Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). |

| Description | Industries are now exploring millimeter wave band of 30-300 GHz for 6G. Our findings in this project have been disseminated in numerous top IEEE journals and IEEE Flagship conferences and attracted the interest of non-academic industries. More specifically, we have developed millimeter wave enabled non-orthogonal multiple access systems, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system and Heterogeneous networks for next generation wireless communications. These findings will have non-academic industrial impact on millimeter wave enabled 6G cellular networks development. We have also developed a model for millimeter wave enabled Vehicle to Everything (V2X) networks. Autonomous vehicles are to be deployed in the near future, our findings are highly useful for communication and control of autonomous vehicles. Hence, our findings would be useful and make non-academic impact in automobile industries as well. These findings also led us to submit two new proposals on Tera Hertz communications for 6G and Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS) enabled communications for 6G for further funding. Besides, these finding would be useful in the new area of millimeter wave enabled integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) for 6G. Based on this project, we submitted a new EPSRC proposal on ISAC (Application reference: APP15797) |
