Filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) is one of the effective candidates for the fifth generation of wireless communication networks. 5G (5th-generation wireless systems) is accepted as the next major stage of mobile telecommunication technology. The extent of 5G will be expanded mobile broadband services to next-generation automobiles and connected machines. In particular, filter bank multicarrier with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (FBMC/OQAM) is determined as the future generation 5G air interface by researchers recently. Filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) is admitted as one of the alternative technologies for multicarrier modulation. Compared to orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), FBMC has better spectrum shape and supports mobility. Therefore, efficient hardware implementations have highly interested researchers. Cyclic prefix (CP) and guard band are used for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) and this causes loss of spectral efficiency, but FBMC applications do not need CP and guard band. Due to the fact that FBMC has offset QAM (OQAM) and band-limited filtering features on each subcarrier, the need for CP and guard band is eliminated. In this paper, novel pipelined hardware architecture of the filter design of FBMC/OQAM modulator has been proposed.

Different data rate services are expected to support for heterogeneous users in OFDM based relaying networks. And fairness of users is an important factor that cannot be neglected in the process of resource allocation, particularly for users at the cell edge. The traditional proportional fairness (PF) scheduling algorithm provides a trade-off between average throughout and fairness in wireless communication networks. This paper investigates subcarrier allocation problem of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) aided relaying systems with PF constraint and proposes an efficient PF scheduling priority by using the users channel condition of past scheduling time and current scheduling time more comprehensively and uniformly which can both maximize the system transmission rate and enhance the system fairness no less than traditional ones. The simulation results show the validity.

Neural networks and their application in communication systems are receiving growing attention from both academia and industry. The authors note that there is a disconnect between the typical objective functions of these neural networks with regards to the context in which the neural network will eventually be deployed and evaluated. To this end, a new loss function is proposed and shown to increase the performance of neural networks when implemented in a communication system compared to previous methods. It is further shown that a ‘split complex’ approach used by many implementations can be improved via formalisation of the ‘concatenated complex’ approach described herein. Experimental results using the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and spectrally efficient frequency division multiplexing (SEFDM) modulation formats with varying bandwidth compression factors over a wireless visible light communication (VLC) link validate the efficacy of the proposed method in a real system, achieving the lowest error vector magnitude (EVM), and thus bit error rate (BER), across all experiments, with a 5 dB to 10 dB improvement in the received symbols EVM overall compared to the baseline implementation, with bandwidth compressions down to 40% compared to OFDM, resulting in a spectral efficiency gain of 67%.

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.

<p>Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a transmission system that uses multiple orthogonal carriers that are sent out at the same time. OFDM is a technique for mobile and wireless communication that has high-efficient frequency utilization, high data-rate transmission, simple and efficient implementation using the fast Fourier transform (FFT) and the inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT), and reduces inter symbol interference (ISI) by inserting cyclic prefix (CP). One of the most important approaches in an OFDM system is channel estimation. In this paper, the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system with the Rayleigh channel module is analyzed for different areas. The proposed approach used large numbers of subcarriers to transmit the signals over 64-QAM modulation with pilot add channel estimation. The accuracy of the OFDM system is shown in the measuring of the relationships of peak power to the noise ratio and bit error rate.</p>


Significant wireless broadband technology used in various cellular standards is Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) which will make use of Multi Carrier Modulated (MCM) systems. Even though OFDM has numerous advantages, it is hard to employ OFDM for complex networks. It is very hard to establish synchronization in mobile environments as it is difficult to predict the Doppler shifts of different users, which results in inter carrier interference (ICI). Further, filters associated with OFDM carrier have comparatively large sidebands which outcomes in Out of Band (OOB) radiations. Insufficient spectral usage is provided by CP-OFDM by using more guard band. So the problems caused by traditional OFDM/CP-OFDM can be answered by employing a new system termed as Filter Bank Multi Carrier (FBMC) System. It is a form of MCM and it can be considered as an advanced cyclic-prefix (CP-OFDM). In OFDM, whole band gets filtered while in FBMC, each sub carrier band is independently filtered. The primary objective of this work is to relate the performance of 5G modulation technique such as FBMC against OFDM and to suggest an ideal waveform for 5G communication in regard to high spectral efficiency, spectral density, BER and less Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR).
