As the traditional resources (frequency, time, space, and so on) are efficiently utilized, it becomes more and more challenging to satisfy the ever-lasting capacity-growing and users-boosting demand in wireless networks. Recently, the EM wave was found to possess not only linear momentum, but also angular momentum. The OAM is a kind of wavefront with helical phase. The OAM-based vortex wave has different topological charges, which are orthogonal to each other, bridging a new way for multiple access in wireless communications. In this article, we introduce the fundamental theory of OAM and the OAM based wireless communications. The research challenges regarding OAM signal generation, OAM beam converging, and OAM signal reception are discussed. Further, we propose a new multiuser access with different OAM-modes in wireless networks, where multiple OAM-modes are used as a new orthogonal dimension for interference avoidance. Simulation results reveal the inherent property of OAM waves and show that OAM based radio transmission can significantly increase spectrum efficiency in wireless networks.
