The primary constraints inherent in the millimeter wave (mmWave) technology manifest as high path loss and limited range. As a result, a line-of-sight environment is necessary for a seamless connection between source and destination nodes. At the same time, the prevalence of intervening obstacles becomes increasingly pronounced, owing to the escalating densification of contemporary wireless networks. We address these inherent challenges by exploring the aid of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and fluid antenna system (FAS) technologies. Our proposed approach centers around deploying an N-user NOMA network for optimizing the base stations resources and facilitating cooperative full-duplex communication. Furthermore, the integration of L-port FAS elevates the quality-of-service by designing a flexible and compact antenna tailored to meet the needs of mobile users. Most works ignore the imperfections of transceiver hardware that is critical for high-rate communication systems. In this work, we have considered both ideal and non-ideal transceiver hardware to analyze the importance of practical systems. The findings indicate that ten-port FAS performs better than the selection-combining diversity. Still, it necessitates approximately 600 ports to surpass the capabilities of a four-antenna maximum-ratio-combining scheme. Ultimately, we formulate the expressions for outage probability, considering residual self-interference, residual transceiver hardware impairment noise, and interference, and corroborate these expressions through Monte Carlo simulations.
