Query: Fast Grant Learning-Based Approach for Machine Type Communications with
  NOMA   In this paper, we propose a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-based
communication framework that allows machine type devices (MTDs) to access the
network while avoiding congestion. The proposed technique is a 2-step mechanism
that first employs fast uplink grant to schedule the devices without sending a
request to the base station (BS). Secondly, NOMA pairing is employed in a
distributed manner to reduce signaling overhead. Due to the limited capability
of information gathering at the BS in massive scenarios, learning techniques
are best fit for such problems. Therefore, multi-arm bandit learning is adopted
to schedule the fast grant MTDs. Then, constrained random NOMA pairing is
proposed that assists in decoupling the two main challenges of fast uplink
grant schemes namely, active set prediction and optimal scheduling. Using NOMA,
we were able to significantly reduce the resource wastage due to prediction
errors. Additionally, the results show that the proposed scheme can easily
attain the impractical optimal OMA performance, in terms of the achievable
rewards, at an affordable complexity.
