Exploiting Cooperative Downlink NOMA in D2D Communications.

We propose and investigate a bidirectional device-to-device (D2D) transmission scheme that exploits cooperative downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) (termed as BCD-NOMA). In BCD-NOMA, two source nodes communicate with their corresponding destination nodes via a relaying node while exchanging bidirectional D2D messages simultaneously. BCD-NOMA is designed for improved outage probability (OP) performance, high ergodic capacity (EC) and high energy efficiency by allowing two sources to share the same relaying node for data transmission to their corresponding destination nodes while also facilitating bidirectional D2D communications exploiting downlink NOMA.

Video Analytics in Elite Soccer: A Distributed Computing Perspective.

Ubiquitous sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies have revolutionized the sports industry, providing new methodologies for planning, effective coordination of training, and match analysis post game. New methods, including machine learning, image and video processing, have been developed for performance evaluation, allowing the analyst to track the performance of a player in real-time. Following FIFA's 2015 approval of electronics performance and tracking system during games, performance data of a single player or the entire team is allowed to be collected using GPS-based wearables.

RF Energy Harvesting and Information Transmission Based on NOMA for Wireless Powered IoT Relay Systems.

Amidst the rapid development of the fifth generation (5G) networks, Internet of Things (IoT) is considered as one of the most important part of 5G next generation networks as it can support massive object communications. These massive object communications in the context of IoT is expected to consume a huge power. Furthermore, IoT sensors or devices are rather power constrained and are mostly battery operated.
