5G Multi-Carrier Modulation Techniques: Prototype Filters, Power Spectral Density, and Bit Error Rate Performance
Abstract In recent years for fourth-generation wireless communication systems Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) multi-carrier modulation (MCM) has been an excellent choice. But for the fifth-generation air interface, the choice of multi-carrier modulation remains the biggest challenge. A potential multi-carrier modulation or candidate waveforms are required for the design of the physical layer. This paper highlights the merits and limitations of new candidate waveforms for fifth-generation wireless communication system. This paper mainly reviews Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, Filtered-OFDM (F-OFDM), Universal Frequency Division Multiplexing (UFMC), Filtered Bank Multi-Carrier Modulation (FBMC), and Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM). This paper mainly reviews some of the comparisons of the parameters as power spectral density and bit error rate.
