  In this paper, we investigate energy-efficient power allocation for the
downlink of the massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) non-orthogonal
multiple access (NOMA) systems. In our proposed scheme, we divide a cell into
two zones. The first area is for users whose distance from the base station
(BS) is less than half of the radius of cell and the second area is for users
whose distance from BS is more than half of the radius of cell. Based on
distance of users from BS and the number of users in each area, we dedicate an
amount of power for each user. We also use standard interference function (SIF)
to propose a new iterative algorithm to solve the optimization problem and
obtain the optimal power allocation scheme. Simulation results show that the
proposed algorithm outperforms other algorithms from the energy efficiency (EE)
point of view.
