Abstract
This letter studies how the imperfect resolution of near-field beamforming, the key feature of near-field communications, can be used to improve the throughput and connectivity of wireless networks. In particular, a hybrid non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) transmission strategy is developed to use preconfigured near-field beams for serving additional users. An energy consumption minimization problem is first formulated and then solved by using different successive interference cancellation strategies. Both analytical and simulation results are presented to illustrate the impact of the resolution of near-field beamforming on the design of hybrid-NOMA transmission.
