Book excerpt: Use cases of future wireless networks (e.g. fifth-generation [5G] networks and beyond [B5G]) will have service-quality requirements including higher data rates than today's networks for enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), minimal latency and high network availability for ultra-reliability low-latency connection (URLLC), and massive access support for machine-type communications (mMTC). Also, 5G and B5G are expected to support communications for highly mobile scenarios with applications in new vertical sectors such as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and autonomous car. Therefore, 5G and B5G cellular systems require a set of new technology enablers and solutions. In this thesis, we address some of the challenges of future wireless networks. In particular, we develop novel analytical models as well as methods, which will enable us to obtain insights into the performance of large-scale cellular networks and optimize network parameters. Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a promising multiple access technique that enables massive connectivity and reduces the delay. We develop an analytical framework to derive the distribution of transmission success probabilities, meta distribution, for uplink and downlink NOMA. We also investigate the accuracy of distance-based ranking, instead of instantaneous signal power-based ranking, in the successive interference cancellation (SIC) at the NOMA receiver. Sojourn time, the time duration that a mobile user stays within a cell, is a mobility-aware parameter that can significantly impact the performance of mobile users and it can also be exploited to improve resource allocation and mobility management methods in the network. We derive the distribution and mean of the sojourn time in multi-tier cellular networks. Future wireless networks will exploit data-driven machine learning techniques for improving network management as well as service provisioning. Due to privacy and communication issues, learning at a centralized location (for example, at a base station) by collecting data from the mobile devices may not be always feasible. Federated learning is a machine learning setting where the centralized location trains a learning model using remote devices. Federated learning algorithms cannot be employed in real-world scenarios unless they consider unreliable and resource-constrained nature of the wireless medium. We propose a federated learning algorithm that is suitable for wireless networks.
