This paper proposes a three-computing-layer architecture consisting of Edge, Fog, and
Cloud for remote health vital signs monitoring. The novelty of this architecture is in using the …

Abstract Resource allocation in Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) networks is a
complex challenge due to dynamic user demands, variable channel conditions, and …

In this paper, a novel blind multi-user detection (MUD) framework for autonomous grant-free
(AGF) high-overloading non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is introduced in detail …

As a new wireless access technology, Narrow Band IoT (NB-IoT) enables low-power wide-
area coverage services and can be applied to many domains. Emerging applications such …

In this paper, a novel blind multi-user detection (MUD) framework for autonomous grant-free
high-overloading non-orthogonal multiple access is introduced in detail aimed at fulfilling …

One of the most important features of the next generation cellular network, commonly
referred to as 5G, is the native support of Internet of Things (IoT) traffic, in order to overcome …

In this paper, contention bandwidth request has been investigated for long term evolution-
