== Project Objective

The project will explore non-traditional computing methods for “Non-Orthogonal Medium Access-based Multiple-Input Multiple-Output” (NOMA-MIMO) wireless systems. Both MIMO and NOMA are considered among the most promising techniques to increase wireless capacity by scaling up the number of serviced devices at a time. However, to do so, they require much more computationally demanding processing at the receiver. A proposed solution is to reduce MIMO Maximum Likelihood Detection (MLD) to Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization(QUBO), which resembles a Hamiltonian. We, then, convert QUBO into the Ising form under the Ising model, and use an Ising solver for the best Ising configurations. Finally, the best candidate will be mapped to MIMO Detected Bits. 

Over the summer, our team split into three groups to handle ...
