This letter studies the design of hybrid precoding in millimeter-Wave (mmWave) multiple input multiple output-non orthogonal multiple access (MIMO-NOMA) systems. To guarantee the rate performance for all served users, we formulate the optimization problem of joint analog precoding (AP) and digital precoding (DP) vectors based on maximum and minimum (Max-Min) fairness to maximize the minimal achievable rate of users, i.e., we design different HP vectors for each user from the perspective of fairness. This can be solved by the proposed two-stage optimization scheme. First, the AP matrix and the DP vectors of each user are alternately designed, where the AP and DP vectors can be obtained by using the Semi-Definite Relaxation algorithm and the proposed boundary-compressed particle swarm optimization (BC-PSO) algorithm, respectively. Then, the optimal scaling factors obtained based on the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) condition are introduced to further to improve the Max-Min rate. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme performs better than existing schemes.
