Abstract:
Slotted Aloha-NOMA (SAN) protocol is an uncoordinated, non-orthogonal, random access protocol that exploits the simplicity of SA (Slotted Aloha) and the superior throughput of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and its ability to resolve collisions via use of successive interference cancellation (SIC) receiver. In SAN protocol, the SIC receiver at the IoT gateway adaptively learns the number of active devices (which is not known a priori) using multiple hypothesis testing in order to successfully distinguish between signals transmitted from different IoT devices.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein determining, by the IoT gateway, a number of active IoT devices further comprises, utilizing multi-hypothesis testing of the received superposed signal to determine the number of active IoT devices.
