    Abstract

    This paper investigates the performance of nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in a multi-cell downlink millimeter-wave (mmWave) network. A Poisson cluster point process (PCP) is utilized to model the considered system. Key features of mmWave networks, such as directional beamforming, distance dependent line-of-sight (LOS)/non-line-of-sight (NLOS), are taken into consideration. Nakagami fading is considered for small scale fading. Closed form expressions for outage probabilities achieved by the NOMA users are obtained. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the accuracy of the analytical results, and also show that NOMA can outperform OMA in a multi-cell mmWave network.
