INTEGRATED 3C IN NOMA-ENABLED REMOTE-E-HEALTH SYSTEMS

A novel framework is proposed to integrate communication, control, and computing (3C) into fifth generation and beyond (5GB) wireless networks for satisfying the ultra-reliable low-latency connectivity requirements of remote e-health systems. Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-enabled 5GB network architecture is envisioned, while the benefits of bringing it to remote e-health systems are demonstrated. First, the application of NOMA into e-health systems is presented. To elaborate further, a unified NOMA framework for e-health is proposed. As a further advance, NOMA-enabled autonomous robotics (NOMA-ARs) systems and NOMA-enabled edge intelligence (NOMA-EI) toward remote e-health are discussed. Furthermore, a pair of case studies are provided to show the great performance enhancement with the use of NOMA in typical application scenarios of 5GB in remote e-health systems. Finally, potential research challenges and opportunities are discussed.
