The IoT (internet of things) is the backbone of intelligent transportation, healthcare, energy and smart home systems. To accommodate the exponentially increasing number of IoT devices, a dramatic paradigm shift towards non-orthogonal uncoordinated (grant-free) massive access is underway, where devices transmit data opportunistically over shared channel resources. This project aims to develop new receivers for such uncoordinated massive access, where the receivers will be trained to identify transmitting devices, recover their data, and resolve any collisions. These outcomes are expected to emerge as a game changer in IoT communications, benefiting national and international industry to meet future telecommunications needs for the IoT.Read moreRead less
