Channel measurement plays an important role in the emerging 5G-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) networks, which reflects the channel quality and link reliability. In this paper, we address the channel measurement for link reliability evaluation in filter-bank multicarrier with offset quadrature amplitude modulation- (FBMC/OQAM-) based IoT network, which is considered as a promising technique for future wireless communications. However, resulting from the imaginary interference and the noise correlation among subcarriers in FBMC/OQAM, the existing frequency correlation method cannot be directly applied in the FBMC/OQAM-based IoT network. In this study, the concept of the block repetition is applied in FBMC/OQAM. It is demonstrated that the noises among subcarriers are independent by the block repetition and linear combination, instead of correlated. On this basis, the classical frequency correlation method can be applied to achieve the channel measurement. Then, we also propose an advanced frequency correlation method to improve the accuracy of the channel measurement, by assuming channel frequency responses to be quasi-invariant for several successive subcarriers. Simulations are conducted to validate the proposed schemes.

UFMC (Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier) is a novel multi-carrier transmission technique that aims to replace the OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) modulation technique for fifth generation (5G) wireless communication systems. UFMC, being a generalization of OFDM and FBMC (Filter Bank Multicarrier), combines the advantages of these systems and at the same time avoids their main disadvantages. Using a Matlab simulation, this article presents an analysis of the robustness of UFMC against fading effects of multipath channels without using a CP (cyclic prefix). The behavior of the UFMC system is analyzed in terms of the PSD (Power Spectral Density), BER (Bit Error Rate) and MSE (Mean Square Error). The results show that UFMC reduces the out-band side lobes produced in the PSD of the processed signal. Also, it is shown that the pilot-assisted channel estimation method applied in OFDM systems can also be applied in UFMC systems.

Abstract In this paper, two new companders are designed to reduce the ratio of peak to average power (PAPR) experienced by filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) signals. Specifically, the compander basic model is generalized, which alter the distributed FBMC signal amplitude peak. The proposed companders design approach provides better performance in terms of reducing the PAPR, Bit Error Rate (BER) and phase error degradation over the previously existing compander schemes. Many PAPR reduction approaches, such as the µ-law companding technique, are also available. It results in the formation of spectrum side lobes, although the proposed techniques result in a spectrum with fewer side lobes. The theoretical analysis of linear compander and expander transform for a few specific parameters are derived and analyzed. The suggested linear companding technique is analytically analysed using simulations to show that it efficiently decreases the high peaks in the FBMC system.
