摘　　要：Millimeter-wave(mmWave)Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access(NOMA)with random beamforming is a promising technology to guarantee massive connectivity and low latency transmissions of future generations of mobile networks.In this paper,we introduce a cost-effective and energy-efficient mmWave-NOMA system that exploits sparse antenna arrays in the transmitter.Our analysis shows that utilizing low-weight and small-sized sparse antennas in the Base Station(BS)leads to better outage probability performance.We also introduce an optimum low complexity Equilibrium Optimization(EO)-based algorithm to further improve the outage probability.The simulation and analysis results show that the systems equipped with sparse antenna arrays making use of optimum beamforming vectors outperform the conventional systems with uniform linear arrays in terms of outage probability and sum rates.
