Quantum-Aided Active User Detection for Energy-Efficient CD-NOMA in Cognitive Radio Networks
As wireless networks evolve toward the 6G era, they face growing challenges in managing the immense number of connected devices while maintaining energy efficiency and spectrum utilization. In a recent IEEE IWCMC 2025 publication, “Quantum-Aided Active User Detection for Energy-Efficient CD-NOMA in Cognitive Radio Networks,” Deemah H. Tashman and Prof. Soumaya Cherkaoui propose a quantum-enhanced approach for detecting active users in Cognitive Radio Networks – a key step in optimizing communication and reducing interference.
