Waveform Design for 5G and Beyond
5G is envisioned to improve major key performance indicators (KPIs), such as
peak data rate, spectral efficiency, power consumption, complexity, connection
density, latency, and mobility. This chapter aims to provide a complete picture
of the ongoing 5G waveform discussions and overviews the major candidates. It
provides a brief description of the waveform and reveals the 5G use cases and
waveform design requirements. The chapter presents the main features of cyclic
prefix-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) that is deployed in
4G LTE systems. CP-OFDM is the baseline of the 5G waveform discussions since
the performance of a new waveform is usually compared with it. The chapter
examines the essential characteristics of the major waveform candidates along
with the related advantages and disadvantages. It summarizes and compares the
key features of different waveforms.Comment: 22 pages, 21 figures, 2 tables; accepted version (The URL for the

On Spectral Coexistence of CP-OFDM and FB-MC Waveforms in 5G Networks
Future 5G networks will serve a variety of applications that will coexist on
the same spectral band and geographical area, in an uncoordinated and
asynchronous manner. It is widely accepted that using CP-OFDM, the waveform
used by most current communication systems, will make it difficult to achieve
this paradigm. Especially, CP-OFDM is not adapted for spectral coexistence
because of its poor spectral localization. Therefore, it has been widely
suggested to use filter bank based multi carrier (FB-MC) waveforms with
enhanced spectral localization to replace CP-OFDM. Especially, FB-MC waveforms
are expected to facilitate coexistence with legacy CP-OFDM based systems.
However, this idea is based on the observation of the PSD of FB-MC waveforms
only. In this paper, we demonstrate that this approach is flawed and show what
metric should be used to rate interference between FB-MC and CP-OFDM systems.
Finally, our results show that using FB-MC waveforms does not facilitate
coexistence with CP-OFDM based systems to a high extent.Comment: Manuscript submitted for review to IEEE Transactions on Wireless

Conjugate-Root Offset-QAM for Orthogonal Multicarrier Transmission
Current implementations of OFDM/OQAM are restricted to band-limited symmetric
filters. To circumvent this, non-symmetric conjugate root (CR) filters are
proposed for OQAM modulation. The system is applied to Generalized Frequency
Division Multiplexing (GFDM) and a method for achieving transmit diversity with
OQAM modulation is presented. The proposal reduces implementation complexity
compared to existing works and provides a more regular phase space.
GFDM/CR-OQAM outperforms conventional GFDM in terms of symbol error rate in
fading multipath channels and provides a more localized spectrum compared to
conventional OQAM.Comment: 4pages, revised version submitted to IEEE WC
5G Waveforms for Overlay D2D Communications: Effects of Time-Frequency Misalignment
This paper analyses a scenario where a Device-To-Device (D2D) pair coexists
with an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based incumbent
network. D2D transmitter communicates in parts of spectrum left free by
cellular users, while respecting a given spectral mask. The D2D pair is
misaligned in time and frequency with the cellular users. Furthermore, the D2D
pair utilizes alternative waveforms to OFDM proposed for 5G. In this study, we
show that it is not worth synchronising the D2D pair in time with respect to
the cellular users. Indeed, the interference injected into the incumbent
network has small variations with respect to time misalignment. We provide
interference tables that encompass both time and frequency misalignment. We use
them to analyse the maximum rate achievable by the D2D pair when it uses
different waveforms. Then, we present numerical results showing what waveform
should be utilized by the D2D pair according to the time-frequency resources
that are not used by the incumbent network. Our results show that the delay
induced by linearly convolved waveforms make them hardly applicable to short
time windows, but that they dominate OFDM for long transmissions, mainly in the
case where cellular users are very sensitive to interference.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figures, Accepted at IEEE ICC 201
