Professor Rose Qingyang Hu

Device-to-Device (D2D) communication, NOMA, MU-MIMO, mobile edge computing are among the key technologies in the next generation (5G) cellular networks to support Internet of Things as they can significantly improve the system performance on connectivity, spectrum efficiency and energy efficiency. In this talk, we will address how to exploit these technology advantages and tackle the key technical challenges to achieve high system performance gains. In particular, we will present D2D, MU-MIMO, NOMA and Mobile Edge Computing based schemes and their related performance study in 5G/IoT settings. These schemes include beamforming and NOMA based MU-MIMO in a downlink cellular network with underlay D2D users, power control in D2D under-laid cellular networks, and Mobile Edge Computing. The talk will present detailed 5G system model, technology background, mathematical approaches and performance results based on both analysis and simulations. Key technical insights from these studies will be provided.
