Computational complexity is one of the key factors considered for evaluating transmitter performance of future 5G applications. In this contribution we have chosen Filter Bank MultiCarrier (FBMC) as it is the most possible candidate to replace/coexist with the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation. In the literature two main design approaches can be found for FBMC: Frequency Spreading (FS) and PolyPhase Network (PPN). From these two structures numerous schemes were derived. These schemes are studied and the complexity (real multiplications and additions) for each scheme is compared. Based on the complexity calculations, the simulation results show that PPN has a better complexity performance compared with FS. Also, the alternative PPN schemes have significant improvement in complexity compared to the standard PPN.

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.

Although orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been standardized for 5G, filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) and filtered orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (F-OFDM) remain competitive as candidates for future generations of wireless technologies beyond 5G, due to their reduced spectrum leakage and thus enhanced spectrum efficiency. In this article, we developed a unified spectrum expression for OFDM, FBMC, and F-OFDM, which provides comparative insights into those techniques. A representative sideband quantification is included at the end of this article.

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.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) usually suffers high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). As shown in this paper, PAPR becomes even severe for sparse source due to many identical nonzero frequency OFDM symbols. Thus, this paper introduces compressive coded modulation (CCM) in order to restrain PAPR by reducing identical nonzero frequency symbols for sparse source. As a result, the proposed CCM-based OFDM system, together with iterative clipping and filtering, can efficiently restrain the high PAPR for sparse source. Simulation results show that it outperforms about 4 dB over the traditional OFDM system when source sparsity is 0.1.

Saat ini, teknologi pada bidang telekomunikasi berkembang dengan pesat. Pengguna telekomunikasi membutuhkan teknologi komunikasi yang cepat dengan bandwidth yang lebih lebar. Oleh karena itu dikembangkanlah Filter Bank Multi Carrier/Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation yang merupakan teknologi kandidat modulasi yang akan digunakan pada 5G. Filter Bank Multi Carrier/Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (FMBC/OQAM) merupakan perkembangan dari Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) yang dimodifikasi dengan menggunakan filter untuk mengurangi noise. OFDM menggunakan teknik multiplexing yang membagi bandwith menjadi beberapa frekuensi sub-carrier. Tetapi OFDM memiliki kelemahan yaitu memerlukan Cyclic Prefix (CP) untuk mengatasi Intersymbol Interference (ISI) serta Intercarrier Interference (ICI). Dengan menggunakan Filter berdasarkan Lembaga Physical layer for dynamic spectrum access and cognitive radio (PHYDYAS)  ,lebar bandwith yang bertambah akibat Cyclic prefix  akan dapat dikurangi Hasil yang dicapai dalam penelitian ini adalah  FBMC berhasil diterapkan  dan data yang dikirim sama dengan data yang diterima.

Abstract The integration of radar and communication is conducive to improving the utilization rate of hardware resources and spectrum. To address the issue that the communication information in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) integrated signal for radar and communication affects detection performance, an OFDM integrated signal for radar and communication based on precoding was proposed. The communication information of the integrated signal was pre-coded by using the Gray Complementary Sequences (GCS) with better correlation performance to improve the performance of the ambiguity function of the integrated signal and its detection ability. Simulation results show that GCS have better correlation performance compared to M and Gold sequences, and the OFDM integrated signal pre-coded by GCS has lower Peak Sidelobes Ratio (PSLR) and comparable radar performance to LFM.

Generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) is a waveform for the next-generation communication systems to succeed in the drawbacks of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The symbols of users are transmitted with the time- and frequency-shifted versions of a prototype filter. According to filtering operation, the computational complexity and processing load are high for the devices that suffer from energy consumption. The communication systems are required to support the new generation devices that need low energy consumption and low latency issues. Motivated by such demands of the next-generation communication system, we propose a novel GFDM waveform that we call hexagonal GFDM. The contributions of the hexagonal GFDM are that it: (i) supports short transmission time based on its hexagonal time–frequency allocations; and (ii) provides low latency communication with low computational complexity manner. Furthermore, we design a transmitter and receiver structure in a less complicated way with mathematical derivation by using polyphase decomposition and Fourier transform (FT) transformation. The proposed systems are realized analytically and investigated over Rayleigh fading channel model through computer simulations.
