The University of Ninevah, College of Electronics Engineering / Department of Communication Engineering, held a master’s thesis defense on Monday, October 13, 2025, for the student Amir Yaseen Sadiq, titled:
“Hybrid Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access for Wireless Communication Systems.”
The thesis investigated a hybrid wireless communication system that combines Orthogonal Multiple Access (OMA) and Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) technologies using an aerial base station (UAV-BS). The goal was to enhance communication efficiency and expand coverage in areas lacking terrestrial infrastructure.
The study employed millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) frequencies and Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology to improve spectral efficiency, transmission rate, and reduce latency. Moreover, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm was utilized to adaptively allocate power among users, achieving better fairness and improving the total throughput compared to conventional methods.
The research also included accurate wireless channel modeling, taking into account Line-of-Sight (LoS) and Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) conditions, as well as Doppler effects caused by the UAV’s movement.
The results demonstrated that the proposed system significantly enhances spectral efficiency and transmission rate, making it a promising solution for 6G and beyond communication networks.
The examination committee consisted of:
• Asst. Prof. Dr. Ali Othman Mohammed – University of Ninevah / College of Electronics Engineering – Chairman
• Asst. Prof. Dr. Mohammed Younis Thanoon – University of Mosul / College of Engineering – Member
• Lect. Dr. Ali Abdulmohsin Saadoon – University of Ninevah / College of Electronics Engineering – Member
