In this paper we consider a resource allocation problem for multi-user MIMO non orthogonal multiple access (MU-MIMO-NOMA) downlink transmissions. Under the NOMA paradigm, users are organized in clusters of strong/weak pair and our aim is to find an optimal clustering, beamforming and power allocation scheme to minimize the power transmitted subject to a rate constraint for each user. Since the joint optimization problem is intractable, we split it in three sub-problems: clustering, which is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem, beamforming and power allocation. Simulations results show that the our proposed scheme greatly outperforms both the classical OMA scheme and state-of-theart NOMA techniques.

Resource allocation in interference-limited systems is a key enabler for beyond 5G (B5G) technologies, such as multicarrier full duplex non-orthogonal multiple access (FD-NOMA). In FD-NOMA systems resource allocation is a computationintensive non-convex problem due to the presence of strong interference and the integrality condition on channel allocation. In this paper, we propose an iterative algorithm based on the combination of channel and power allocations aimed at the minimization of the weighted mean square error, which converges to a feasible allocation of the original problem. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has lower complexity than other state-of-the-art solutions for the same problem. Moreover, the presented results assess the validity of our approach showing performance close to the theoretical optimum.
