AbstractResearchers have already proved that data consumption in coming years will increase by leaps and bounds, so the present technologies like 3G, OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) cannot hold the addition of huge capacitance, data use and demand of high data-rate. Hence, on that point is a necessity of fifth generation mobile communication system (5G). Presently the rollout for 5G is going virtually everywhere in the world and among several issues; selection of better modulation techniques is seen as unitary of the significant issues in the implementation of the 5G. In this work, we designed and analyse the performance of OFDM and FBMC (Filter Band Multi Carrier) multicarrier modulation schemes on the basis of Bit Error rate (BER) and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). Simulation results and mathematical analysis have confirmed that the performance and spectrum utilization of FBMC is better or equivalent as compared to OFDM, which can be very useful in next generation mobile communication and Internet of Things (IOT).

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is of the strong prospects as a future wireless communication system. Improved spectral efficiency has been found in OFDM based on DFT, has a good orthogonality but inter symbol interference (ISI) and inter carrier interference (ICI) degrade the performance. ISI and ICI can be improved by using cyclic prefix (CP). About 20% of bandwidth is consumed by CP. For preferable performance DWT based OFDM gives better outlook than DFT based OFDM.. Three advantages of using DWT are desirable signal to noise ratio, desirable data rate and below per power requirement are given by wavelet based OFDM. Comparison of performances of BER using practical channel model known as Stanford University Interim (SUI) is given in this paper. Consideration to QPSK, 4QAM, 8QAM, 16 -QAM, 32QAM, 64-QAM, 128QAM and 256 QAM has been given in modeling. Channel condition and modulation are the pre - cursors given for the selection of particular performance.

Current and future wireless communication systems are designed to achieve the user’s demands such as high data rate and high speed with low latency and simultaneously to save bandwidth and spectrum. In 5G and 6G networks, a high speed of transmitting and switching is required for internet of things (IoT) applications with higher capacity. To achieve these requirements a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is considered as a wavelength converter to transmit a signal with an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with subcarrier power modulation (OFDM-SPM). It exploits the subcarrier’s power in conventional OFDM block in order to send additional bits beside the normally transmitted bits. In this paper, we optimized the SOA’s parameters to have efficient wavelength conversion process. These parameters are included the injection current (IC) of SOA, power of pump and probe signals. A 7 Gbps OFDM-SPM signal with a millimeter waves (MMW) carrier of 80 GHz is considered for signal switching. The simulation results investigated and analyzed the performance of the designed system in terms of error vector magnitude (EVM), bit error rate (BER) and optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR). The optimum value of IC is 0.6 A while probe power is 9.45 and 8.9 dBm for pump power. The simulation is executed by virtual photonic integrated (VPI) software.

<span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">The use of mobile communication is growing radically with every passing year. The new reality is the fifth generation (5G) of mobile communication technology. 5G requires expensive infrastructural adjustment and upgradation. Currently, Pakistan has one of the most significant numbers of biometrically verified mobile users. However, at the same time, the country lags incredibly in the field of mobile internet adoption, with just half of the mobile device owners avail broadband subscription. It is a viable market with a large segment yet to be tapped. With the advancing progression in Pakistan towards the internet of things (IoT) connectivity, i.e., solar-powered home solutions, smart city projects, and on-board diagnostics (OBD), the urgency for speed, bandwidth and reliability are on the rise. In this paper, Pakistan's prevalent mobile communication networks, i.e., second, third and fourth generation (2G, 3G and 4G), were analyzed and examined in light of the country's demographics and challenges. The future of 5G in Pakistan was also discussed. The study revealed that non-infrastructural barriers influence the low adoption rate, which is the main reason behind the spectrum utilization gap, i.e., the use of 3G, and the 4G spectrum is minimal.</span>

The traffic in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is brusty in nature; when any incident takes place, the data load on the channel increases suddenly demanding large channel spectrum. The scarcity of spectrum is the major technical obstacle for high data rate transmission along with better quality of service in any kind of wireless network. Hence it is very essential to enhance the spectrum efficiency of wireless channel. The major technical advancement in the physical layer which brings feasibility of broadband data transmission without increasing the transmission bandwidth or transmitting power are implementation of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) communication system with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) as modulation schemes. This chapter includes the fundamental concept of MIMO-OFDM system along with the channel estimation methods and the spectrum utilization issues therein.


This paper is focused on the advanced signal processing techniques for the multi-carrier modulation especially on the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). OFDM has high data rate and robust against the frequency selective multi-path channels. Channel estimation is crucial for the receiver design in coherent detection. In this paper we are investigating and examining the pilot aided system for channel estimation and its special effects on the performance of the OFDM based system. In this paper new technique is proposed which make use of conventional Least Square (LS) and Recursive Least Square (RLS) hybridization techniques for the channel estimation afterwards we apply Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Hybrid PSO (PSO+ Moth Flame Optimization(MFO)) optimization for obtaining more optimize techniques. In the proposed system, to estimate channel impulse response we are using pseudo-pilots instead to pilots as it is useful to overcome the pilot overhead and decrease the complexity by using pseudo random symbol (PRS). The performance of the proposed techniques and the weighted scheme are compared and verified using computerized simulation carried out using Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) software. It is demonstrated on the basis of graph between BER and signal to Noise Ratio (Eb/NO), that the proposed technique reduces the execution time and increase the transmission rate with low or zero overhead.

<p>The nature of future wireless applications requires high data rates and for this OFDM technique is used. OFDM stands for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing and is a type of multi-carrier transmission where all the subcarriers are orthogonal to each other. At high data rates, the channel distortion to the data is very important and it is somewhat impossible to recover the transmitted data with a simple receiver. So a complex receiver structure is needed which uses computationally expensive equalization and channel estimation algorithms to estimate the channel. These estimations can be used within the received data to recover the originally transmitted data. OFDM can simplify the equalization problem by changing the frequency-selective channel into a flat channel. The radio channels in mobile radio systems are usually multipath fading channels that results in intersymbol interference (ISI) in the received signal. To remove ISI from the signal, many kind of equalizers can be used. The need for equalizers arises from the fact that the channel has amplitude and phase dispersion which results in the interference of the transmitted signals with one another which is known as ISI .So, to solve this problem equalizers are designed. Equalizer is intend to work in such a way that Bit Error Rate (BER) should be low and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) should be high. An equalizer within a receiver compensates for the average range of expected channel amplitude and delay characteristics. This paper deals with the various equalization techniques (LMS, RLS and CMA) used for OFDM system .A comparative analysis of different equalization technique in terms of BER is done using MATLAB Simulink.</p>
