  • Enhancing non-orthogonal multiple access systems: A reconfigurable Machine Learning classification approach
    Saurabh Srivastava, Rampravesh Kumar, Prajna Parimita Dash
    Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, 2025
    Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) is being considered as a Multiple Access (MA) technique for the next-generation systems, due to factors such as a high per-user spectral resource allocation, grant-free transmission, support for millimeter Waves (mmWaves) and massive-MIMO (mMIMO). A practical limitation of the NOMA systems is imperfect Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC); and the involved decoding delay. This work develops a data-driven Machine Learning (ML) model providing the functionality of a SIC receiver. While most of the Deep Learning (DL) algorithms have high complexity and training times, the given ML approach utilizes the received symbol as the only primary predictor. The other two predictors are derived from the primary predictor, and utilized for the Power-Domain (PD)-NOMA symbol-decoding process. The model utilizes a developed low-complexity NOMA-ML-based Decoder (MLbD) dataset for the same. The extensive test simulations confirm the reconfigurable ML-based receiver to be at par with the existing Maximum Likelihood (MLH) decoder in terms of decoding accuracy. Still, the former supports its integration into the next-generation systems due to its reconfigurable nature and removes the drawbacks related to SIC in the NOMA systems.
  • Global perspectives on digital twin adoption in healthcare
    Saurabh Srivastava, Prajna Parimita Dash
    Digital Twin Technology for Better Health A Healthcare Odyssey, 2025
    Digital twins (DTs) represent a cutting-edge technological advancement, creating virtual models of physical objects, systems, or any processes that mirror their real-world counterparts throughout their lifecycle. Initially developed by NASA for space exploration, DT technology has since expanded into various industries, notably healthcare, where it is revolutionizing patient care, hospital management, and medical device optimization. Chapter 11 explores the evolution, application, and prospects of DTs within the healthcare sector. This chapter begins by tracing the origins of DTs, from their early use in the Apollo-13 mission to their formal conceptualization in the mid-2000s. It then delves into the current applications of DTs in healthcare, highlighting their role in enhancing operational efficiency, personalizing treatment plans, and predicting patient outcomes. The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and big data analytics is highlighted as a key enabler of DT technology, allowing for real-time data collection, processing, and analysis. Despite their transformative potential, the implementation of DTs in healthcare is not without challenges. This chapter addresses key obstacles such as data integration, regulatory and ethical concerns, and the need for interoperability among diverse healthcare systems. It also examines the resource-intensive nature of DT development and the importance of clinical validation to gain the trust of healthcare professionals. Looking ahead, this chapter identifies exciting opportunities for DTs in personalized medicine, early disease detection, virtual clinical trials, and remote patient monitoring. It concludes with an analysis of global adoption trends, projecting significant market growth and increased investment in DT technology over the coming decade. As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, DTs are poised to become indispensable tools in improving patient outcomes and optimizing healthcare delivery.

    Saurabh Srivastava, Prajna Parimita Dash, Sanjay Kumar
    Proceedings of 4th International Conference on Cybernetics Cognition and Machine Learning Applications Icccmla 2022, 2022
    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is likely to turn into an integral component of the next-generation Power-Domain (PD)-Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) systems, in which the Power Allocation (PA) plays a major role in the system performance. This paper furnishes a constellation-based approach for PA in a two-user uplink PD-NOMA system, apart from its application in simultaneous user-decoding without Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC). The formulated approach overcomes SIC-related anomalies at the receiver. The software simulations reinforce the information-theoretic results validating the methodology. The optimal PA coefficients also provide prospects for integrating AI with NOMA systems that are proposed for 5G and beyond systems.
  • Coefficient-Scaling-Based Fair Power Allocation for Multi-User Power-Domain Nonorthogonal Multiple Access Network
    Saurabh Srivastava, Prajna Parimita Dash
    Journal of Circuits Systems and Computers, 2021
    Fair power allocation to the users in a power domain nonorthogonal multiple access (PD-NOMA) networks is an essential aspect. In this paper, we have proposed a coefficient-scaling-based fair power allocation scheme, for a single cell multi-user PD-NOMA network. First, we have developed a model for two users with a fixed power allocation scheme, and proposed a modified strong user fair-power allocation scheme. Furthermore, this two-user scheme is extended for an ad-hoc multi-user PD-NOMA network and a coefficient-scaling-based approach for fair power allocation is proposed to address the outage issue. The performance of the proposed schemes is evaluated through bit-error-rate, sum-rate, outage, and fairness index. The simulation results reveal a remarkable increase in fairness performance of the proposed scheme, in comparison with a state-of-the-art method.
  • Capacity analysis of non-orthogonal multiple access for uplink and downlink
    Saurabh Srivastava, Prajna Parimita Dash, Sanjay Kumar
    Journal of Mobile Multimedia, 2021
    Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is intended to be used for the next generation 5G cellular networks. In this paper, the expressions for the channel capacities for symmetric and asymmetric NOMA networks have been analysed. The performance measure of user spectral efficiency and the sum-rate bounds, for the NOMA and the existing orthogonal multiple access (OMA) networks have been compared. Furthermore, analysis of user rate and capacity of NOMA network has been carried out and it is observed that the NOMA capacity region varies as a function of the power allocation factor. The corresponding models have been developed for both uplink and downlink, and simulated with MATLAB. The NOMA performance with imperfect Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) decoding is also analysed for the downlink. It is also verified that the transmit power may be increased to counter the spectral efficiency reduction due to imperfect SIC.
