Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has attracted both academic and industrial interest since it has been considered as one of the promising 5G technologies in order to increase connectivity and spectral efficiency. In this paper, we focus on a downlink NOMA network, where a single base station serves a set of users through multiple subchannels. The goal is to jointly optimize energy efficiency (EE) and fairness among users with respect to the subcarrier and power allocation parameters. To achieve this with acceptable complexity, we propose a novel greedy subcarrier assignment scheme. Due to the fractional form of the EE expression and the existence of interference, the power allocation problem is non-convex. To this end, we first transform this into an equivalent subtractive form, which is then solved by using fractional programming with sequential optimization of the power allocation vectors. Simulation results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in terms of EE and fairness among users compared to baseline schemes. Finally, the proposed algorithms are of fast convergence, low complexity, and insensitive to the initial values.
