Resource Scheduling in MU-MIMO and NOMA Enabled Integrated Access and Backhaul Networks
The integrated access and backhaul (IAB) architecture utilizes wireless backhaul to facilitate the expansion of fifth-generation (5G) New Radio (NR) networks.In an IAB network, intermediate base stations (or say IAB nodes) can be connected in a multi-hop fashion.However, optimizing resource scheduling in such a network remains a critical challenge.
