Conclusion
NOMA assisted NGMA has been envisioned in the recently published IMT-2030 Framework. This perspective has outlined three important features of NOMA assisted NGMA, namely multi-domain utilization, multi-mode compatibility, and multi-dimensional optimality, where important directions for future research into the design of NOMA assisted NGMA have also been discussed.
