Resource-Hopping-Based Grant-Free Multiple Access for 6G-Enabled Massive IoT Networks

Grant-free multiple access (GFMA) is an emerging technology to accommodate a massive number of devices for 6G-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) networks. The main advantages of GFMA are to efficiently reduce control signaling overhead for resource scheduling while improving resource efficiency. In this article, we propose a novel resource-hopping-based GFMA (RH-GFMA) framework with...
