ASYNCHRONOUS NON-ORTHOGONAL MULTIPLE ACCESS FOR AMBIENT INTERNET OF THINGS (AIOT) DEVICES

Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to performing non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) for ambient Internet of Things (AIoT) devices. For example, each AIoT device of a group of AIoT devices (e.g., a group of AIoT devices associated with a reader device) may append to transmitted data a prefix at the start of one or more chips with the transmitted data. An associated network entity may determine a length or duration of the prefix (or prefixes). In doing so, the NOMA mechanism enables the AIoT devices to utilize NOMA when transmitting data.
