May 11, 2021: Dr. Ngo Khac Hoang (Univ. Paris-Saclay, France), Massive Uncoordinated Random Access for the Internet of Things
Under the paradigm of the Internet of Things (IoT), a major challenge in next-generation wireless networks is to serve a very large number of connected devices. IoT devices are mostly battery limited and transmit short packets in a sporadic and uncoordinated manner. This calls for new theoretical frameworks that help to understand the fundamental limits of massive random access and provide guidelines for redesigning the medium access layer. To this end, a novel formulation for the massive uncoordinated access problem was proposed in 2017 by Yury Polyanskiy, where it is assumed that all users employ a common codebook, and decoding is done up to a permutation of messages. In this talk, we will introduce this appealing formulation and present recent results in the following-up line of research. We will also present our result in extending this formulation to a more practically relevant setting where the number of active users is random and unknown.
