Hybrid precoding and power allocation for mmWave NOMA systems based on time delay line arrays by Gangcan SUN, Xinli WU, Wanming HAO, Zhengyu ZHU

“…Methods:To reduce inter-user interference,an improved K-means algorithm is proposed to group users and select a cluster head for each group of users, which maximizes the correlation of user channels in the same cluster and reduces the correlation between users in different clusters as much as possible;Then,a low-complexity analog precoding is designed to maximize the array gain of the antenna based on the relevant user channel matrix composed of the cluster head set, followed by a digital precoding designed to eliminate inter-user interference with the maximum equivalent channel gain between beams using a forced-zero technique; Finally, an EE maximization problem is formed to optimize the transmit power under users'quality of services and total transmit power constraints,and a two-layer iterative algorithm is proposed for the resulting non-convex optimization problem. …”
