Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been recently recognized as a promising multiple access (MA) technique to significantly improve the spectral efficiency of mobile communication networks. This invited talk will briefly explain the fundamentals of NOMA, key potentials and its unique integration with several other emerging communication technologies such as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) etc. Particularly, some critical challenges and new research aspects will be discussed for future breakthrough novelties.
