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 14):
The IoT gateway of  claim 13 , further for:\n not establishing a connection between each of the active IoT devices and the SIC receiver if the selected optimum power level of each of the active IoT devices is not distinct; transmitting a reselect signal to each of the active IoT devices to reselect an optimum power level and a receiving antenna; receiving, at the SIC receiver of the IoT gateway, the device identification and a reselected payload for each of the active IoT devices; determining if the reselected optimum power level of each of the active IoT devices is distinct; repeating transmitting a reselect signal, receiving the device identification and the reselected payload for each of the active IoT devices at the SIC receiver and determining if the reselected optimum power level of each of the active IoT devices is distinct until the reselected optimum power each of the active IoT devices is determined to be distinct or until a maximum number of attempts has been exceeded; and transmitting, from the IoT gateway a negative-acknowledgement signal to each of the active IoT devices instructing each of the IoT devices to utilize a random back-off in a next transmission of the training sequence over the transmission medium when a maximum number of attempts has been exceeded.
