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.

OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) merupakan teknik modulasi multicarrier untuk mengatasi permasalahan kanal multipath seperti frekuensi selektif fading. Orthogonalitas pada sistem OFDM menghasilkan banyak sub-carrier yang dapat ditransmisikan secara bersamaan pada spektrum frekuensi yang terbatas tanpa saling berinterferensi. Efesiensi bandwidth didapat karena masing-masing sub-carrier saling orthogonal sehingga antara sub-carrier yang berdekatan dapat dibuat overlapping. OWDM (Orthogonal wavelet division multiplex) merupakan suatu sistem multicarrier alternatif dariOFDM dan telah diteliti sebagai kandidat yang dapat diaplikasikan pada wirelesscommunication. Sistem OWDM menggunakan Inverse Discrete wavelet transform (IDWT) sebagai pembangkit subcarrier-subcarrier yang saling orthogonal dan berfungsi sebagai modulator. Sedangkan DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) digunakan sebagai demodulator. Penelitian ini membandingkan power spectral density dari sistem OWDM dan OFDM. Dari hasil simulasi perbandingan power spectral density (PSD) didapatkan bahwa PSD darimasing-masing sistem sama. Pada OWDM, pembagian band frekuensi untuk setiap sub-band berbeda kecuali sub-band pada level yang sama. Semakin tinggi level sub-band maka semakin lebar band frekuensinya.

Combined with OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), satellite mobile communications will effectively achieve on-demand communication in areas with an ultra-low density of users. With OFDM multiple access optimization, the bandwidth utilization efficiency can be increased by 5 to 10 times. However, satellites are power-constrained systems, so higher PAPR requires greater power backoff, resulting in a decline in satellite transmission capacity. To use OFDM technology in satellites, there are problems such as reduced transmission capacity resulted from high PAPR, complication of lowering PAPR, and difficulty in hardware implementation. In order to deal with the problem of high bit error rate and hardware implementation difficulties in PAPR reduction technique of non-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, this paper proposes a limiting PAPR reduction technique with OFDM pilot filter banks for satellite mobile communications. Firstly, the applicability of OFDM in satellite mobile communications is analyzed, and the influence of high PAPR on satellite power utilization and the influence of frequency shift sensitivity on inter-satellite communication interference are obtained. Then design the PAPR reduction technique based on the pilot filter bank. By setting the tunable filter bank to the pilot, the sideband power suppression in the OFDM frequency domain is realized, and the PAPR of the OFDM signal is reduced. Finally, the experimental results show that the PAPR performance is improved by 3dB without reducing the bit error rate.

Метод непосредственной модуляции с использованием комплексных сигналов применяется при реализации сигнальных трактов передатчиков в базовых станциях систем сотовой связи. В процессе модуляции возникают рассогласования коэффициента усиления и фазы квадратурных составляющих сигнала. Рассогласование ухудшает модуль вектора ошибки (Error Vector Magnitude, EVM) в приемнике, что, в свою очередь, приводит к повышению частоты появления ошибочных битов (Bit Error Rate, BER). Качество принимаемого сигнала выражается в частоте появления битовых ошибок. Рассогласование амплитуды и фазы квадратурных составляющих является одним из важнейших факторов, вносящих наибольший вклад в амплитуду вектора ошибки, который необходимо исследовать.В статье приведено исследование влияния рассогласования квадратурных составляющих сигналов технологий OFDM (Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing) и UFMC (universal filtered multi-carrier). Разработана модель передатчика, канала связи и приемника для сигналов OFDM и UFMC. Модель построена в програм­мной среде MatLab при помощи языка MatLab и представляет собой программную модель m-script.В ходе работы путем исследования имитационной модели изучена зависимость помехоустойчивости технологий путем изменения параметров канала связи, таких как амплитудное и фазовое рассогласование квадратурных составляющих сигнала, а также отношение сигнал/шум. Проведен сравнительный анализ таких параметров сигналов, как занимаемая полоса частот, пик-фактор, частота появления битов с ошибкой. По результатам исследования получены графики зависимости вероятности ошибки и пик-фактора сигнала от рассогласования квадратурных составляющих для двух технологий – OFDM и UFMC. Проведенное исследование позволяет выделить преимущества технологии UFMC, которые выражаются в спектральной эффективности, помехоустойчивости и уровне пик-фактора сигнала.

<span>High-speed Terahertz communication systems has recently employed orthogonal frequency division multiplexing approach as it provides high spectral efficiency and avoids inter-symbol interference caused by dispersive channels. Such high-speed systems require extremely high-sampling <br /> time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters at the receiver. However, timing mismatch of time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters significantly causes system performance degradation. In this paper, to avoid such performance degradation induced by timing mismatch, we theoretically determine maximum tolerable mismatch levels for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing communication systems. To obtain these levels, we first propose an analytical method to derive the bit error rate formula for quadrature and pulse amplitude modulations in Rayleigh fading channels, assuming binary reflected gray code (BRGC) mapping. Further, from the derived bit error rate (BER) expressions, we reveal a threshold of timing mismatch level for which error floors produced by the mismatch will be smaller than a given BER. Simulation results demonstrate that if we preserve mismatch level smaller than 25% of this obtained threshold, the BER performance degradation is smaller than 0.5 dB as compared to the case without timing mismatch.</span>

Fifth generation (5G) wireless technology is a new wireless communication system that must meet different complementary needs: the high data rate for mobile services, low energy consumption and long-range for connected objects, low latency to ensure real-time communication for critical applications and, high spectral efficiency to improve the overall system capacity. The waveforms and associated signal processing present a real challenge in the implementation of each generation of wireless communication networks. Different research works have discussed this topic; but, these works are limited to the Filter-Bank Multi-Carrier (FBMC), Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier (UFMC), and Filtered Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (F-OFDM) waveforms. In this work, we review the technical basics of the physical layer for the LTE system which uses, OFDM modulation for the downlink and the single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) technique for the uplink. Besides, this paper presents the diverse waveforms candidate for 5G systems, including, FBMC, UFMC, and F-OFDM, and compares these techniques with Constant Envelope-OFDM (CE-OFDM), which is an advantageous form regarding power consumption, especially for battery-powered devices. Simulations are carried out to compare the performance of the OFDM, CE-OFDM, F-OFDM, UFMC, and FBMC in terms of power spectral density (PSD) and Bit Error Rate (BER). It has been demonstrated that (CE-OFDM) constitutes a more efficient solution in terms of energy consumption than the other technics. By comparison with the other technics, the CE-OFDM scheme performances, in terms of BER and PSD, are controllable by the values of its parameters (M, h, and J). This advantage gives designers of the system to consider the mutual choice between spectral efficiency and the BER. Moreover, the (F-OFDM), (UFMC), and (FBMC) schemes could constitute a more efficient solution in terms of power spectral density. It can be concluded from this paper that CE-OFDM wave form gives the best performance in terms of power consumption by reducing the Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) associated with the OFDM system and FBMC is an efficiency technique to reduce the inter-carrier interference (ICI).
