Novel Techniques for Uncoordinated Massive Access in the Internet of Things

物联网（IoT）是智能交通、医疗、能源和智能家居系统的支柱。为了适应呈指数级增长的物联网设备数量，正在发生向非正交不协调（无授权）大规模访问的戏剧性转变，其中设备在共享信道资源上机会性地传输数据。该项目旨在为这种不协调的大规模访问开发新的接收器，其中接收器将被训练以识别传输设备，恢复其数据并解决任何冲突。这些结果预计将成为物联网通信的游戏规则改变者，使国内和国际行业受益，以满足未来物联网的电信需求。

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.
