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.

In this study, filtered orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (F-OFDM) and universal filtered multicarrier (UFMC) were proposed for complexity reduction in the 5G waveform. Cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP_OFDM) is well suited for 4G; however, the major problem of the 4G modulation methods is their susceptibility to high peak to average power ratio (PAPR). Another problem of OFDM is the issue of sideband leakage. The existing 4G systems mainly depend on the CP_OFDM waveform, which cannot support the host of applications provided by the 5G platform. 5G-generated traffic is likely to exhibit different features and requirements compared to the existing wireless technology. Consequently, investigations have been devoted to other multiple access schemes. The existing limitations of OFDM can be mitigated by using the UFMC technique. To ensure that the demands and requirements of the upcoming 5G cellular networks are satisfied, this study presents an enabler called filtered-OFDM (f-OFDM) for flexible waveform configurations. Contrarily, the assigned bandwidth in the f-OFDM is split into various sub-bands to accommodate different services in each sub-band using the most suited waveform, thereby enhancing the spectrum utilization using a different filter. Additionally, the advantages of F-OFDM and UFMC were portrayed via a wide comparison with the current 5G waveforms.

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.  


An analysis on Spectrally Efficient Frequency Division Multiplexing (SEFDM) is contrast with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) considering the impact on Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) and nonlinearities within fibre. With respect to OFDM the sub-carriers in SEFDM signals are compressed adjacent to each other at a rate of frequency lesser than the symbol rate. At the receiver end we have utilized the Sphere Decoder which is used to recover the data to remunerate the Interference created by the compressed signals (ICI) faced in the system. This research shows the advantages by using SEFDM and evaluates its achievement. PAPR. when compared with OFDM, while effects of non-linear fibres are considered. The use of various formats of modulation going from 4-QAM to 32-QAM, shows that the SEFDM signals have a noteworthy increment in the transmission length with respect to ordinary signals.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), widely used in digital wireless communication, has a major drawback of high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). A reduced complexity partial transmit sequence (PTS) scheme has been proposed to solve high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. In the proposed PTS scheme, a function is generated by summing the power of time domain samples at time ‘n’ in each sub blocks, known as “Hn”.Only those samples, having Hn greater than or equal to a preset threshold value (αT) are used for peak power calculation during the process of selecting a candidate signal with the lowest PAPR for transmission. As compared to conventional PTS scheme, the proposed scheme achieves almost the same PAPR reduction performance with much lower computational complexity.

Abstract This paper introduces an optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based hyperchaotic key generation encryption approach that can improve confidentiality in visible light communication (VLC) networks. Using a hyperchaotic four-dimensional method, the bipolar real-valued OFDM signal can be used for constructing dynamic cypher keys modified at every frame over the communication time, resulting in a superior degree of protection against statistical and correlation attacks. In accordance with our findings, this approach decreases the ratio of peak-to-average power of the transmitted signal, and enhances the bit error rate efficiency and secrecy capacity of the OFDM-based VLC network, which improves confidentiality.
