Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a technology that leverages user channel gains, offers higher spectral efficiency, improves user fairness, better cell-edge throughput, increased reliability, and low latency, making it a potential technology for the next generation of cellular networks. The application of NOMA in the power domain (NOMA-PD) with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and other emerging technologies allows to achieve the demand for higher data rates in next-generation networks. This survey aims to funnel down NOMA MIMO resource allocation issues and different optimization problems that exist in the literature to enhance the data rate.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the achievement of mobility and handover (HO) in 5G networks due to significant changes in intelligent devices and high-definition (HD) multimedia applications. Consequently, the current cellular network faces challenges in propagating high-capacity data with improved speed, QoS, latency, and efficient HO and mobility management.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFifth generation (5G) is a recent wireless communication technology in mobile networks. The key parameters of 5G are enhanced coverage, ultra reliable low latency, high data rates, massive connectivity and better support to mobility. Enhanced coverage is one of the major issues in the 5G and beyond 5G networks, which will be affecting the overall system performance and end user experience.
