Systematic pursuits are being developed to set forth the framework for the Fifth Generation (5G) wireless standards. This paper emphases on the most extensively deployed technology - Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) that has outpaced other waveform aspirants for Fourth Generation (4G) communication standards. Irrespective of the beneficial features, it does possess a number of significant limitations that mark it as an incompatible candidate for the upcoming 5G standard. This paper highlights on its major drawback i.e high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR). Results state that PAPR does cause sudden upsurge to the output signal envelope causing further other damages. There exists a need for more flexible waveforms to replace the conventional OFDM in order to address the unprecedented challenges. The future research directions in the domain are presented.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-based non-orthogonal multiple access (OFDM-NOMA) is a competitive solution to achieve a capacity gain over orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-based orthogonal multiple access (OFDM-OMA). However, a major drawback of OFDM-based systems is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). Clipping is widely used for PAPR reduction, but it will degrade the capacity performance. Motivated by this fact, a fair user signal power allocation approach to OFDM-NOMA with clipping is proposed, where the power allocation factor is selected from a fair region. This approach fulfills the demand that OFDM-NOMA capacity can always outperform OFDM-OMA capacity for each paired user, regardless of the user pairing criteria, making it applicable for implementation using any scheduling paradigms. Therefore, the proposed approach can also be viewed as a solution to address fairness for the cell edge user in OFDM-NOMA systems. Both the theoretical and numerical results indicate that, although the capacity performance of OFDM-NOMA and OFDM-OMA is decreased and restrained at a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by clipping, applying the proposed approach on OFDM-NOMA can still meet the aforementioned demand. Besides, it is shown that both the lower and upper bounds of the fair region are increased with a decreasing of clipping ratio.

AbstractAs we enter a new era of next-generation wireless systems represented by Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) technology, it is essential to grasp the recent progress in their standardization and development. This article offers a concise survey of the 5G NR system design that aims at introducing its features according to the relevant Third Generation Partnership (3GPP) specifications. Our focus is set on the flexibility of 5G NR, which refers to its capability to support novel services and technologies, such as enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) and Internet of Things (IoT) for massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC) while satisfying the underlying quality requirements. The key enablers of the 5G NR operation are scalable numerology, ultra-lean and beam-centric design, support for low latency, spectrum extension, and forward compatibility. This work summarizes these important features by studying the overall 5G architecture and the user-/control-plane protocol stacks specified by 3GPP. Furthermore, the impact of scalable numerology on system performance is discussed. Finally, we also consider open challenges and future research directions.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a multicarrier transmission technique which has the major drawback namely Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). The high PAPR influences the efficiency of the power amplifier. The Selected Level Mapping (SLM) gives reduced PAPR contrasted with different strategies but the complexity is high due to the necessity of various Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFTs). With the end goal to reduce the complexity, the proposed design requires only one IFFT, the candidate signals are produced by cyclic shifting the original time domain signal then multiplying with the distinctive genuine positive numbers. At that point the candidate with most minimal PAPR is chosen for transmission.

This paper describes the aspects of multiple access for emerging (5G) Wireless Communication Systems. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is best suited for fourth generation (4G) but it suffers from the problem of high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) & Side band leakage. Single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) has worked like an alternative to OFDMA only in the uplink process and PAPR was reduced. OFDM based 4G network is not capable of supporting diverse applications and these applications can be implemented by 5G.  High traffic requirements of 5G can be evaluated by using multiple access schemes, namely filter-bank multi-carrier (FBMC), universal-filtered multi-carrier (UFMC), generalized frequency-division multiplexing (GFDM). Comparison of PAPR reduction is done based on Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF), for various multiple access 5G waveforms.
