WS-05: 2nd International Workshop on Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access Techniques for 5G

Workshop Goal

The 2nd International Workshop on Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access Techniques for 5G will take place during IEEE GLOBECOM 2017 in Singapore, on December 4, 2017. The workshop will provide a forum for brainstorming on the emerging non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) techniques for 5G cellular networks. We aim to bring together the leading researchers in the field, both from academia and industry, to share their recent findings and their views on what access methods best suit the diverse requirements of next generation networks.
