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

Multi-service systems: an enabler of flexible 5G air-interface
Multi-service system is an enabler to flexibly support
diverse communication requirements for the next generation
wireless communications. In such a system, multiple types of
services co-exist in one baseband system with each service having
its optimal frame structure and low out of band emission (OoBE)
waveforms operating on the service frequency band to reduce the
inter-service-band-interference (ISvcBI). In this article, a
framework for multi-service system is established and the
challenges and possible solutions are studied. The multi-service
system implementation in both time and frequency domain is
discussed. Two representative subband filtered multicarrier
(SFMC) waveforms: filtered orthogonal frequency division
multiplexing (F-OFDM) and universal filtered multi-carrier
(UFMC) are considered in this article. Specifically, the design
methodology, criteria, orthogonality conditions and prospective
application scenarios in the context of 5G are discussed. We
consider both single-rate (SR) and multi-rate (MR) signal
processing methods. Compared with the SR system, the MR
system has significantly reduced computational complexity at the
expense of performance loss due to inter-subband-interference
(ISubBI) in MR systems. The ISvcBI and ISubBI in MR systems
are investigated with proposed low-complexity interference
cancelation algorithms to enable the multi-service operation in
low interference level conditions
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

In the literature, there is no convenient survey study that rounds up all the necessary points to be investigated concerning such systems. The current deeper review paper inspects and interprets the state of the art and addresses several research axes related to MIMO-OFDM systems. Two topics have received special attention: MIMO waveforms and MIMO-OFDM channel estimation. The existing MIMO hardware and software innovations, in addition to the MIMO-OFDM equalization techniques, are discussed concisely. In the literature, only a few authors have discussed the MIMO channel estimation and modeling problems for a variety of MIMO systems. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been until now no review paper specifically discussing the recent works concerning channel estimation and the equalization process for MIMO-OFDM systems. Hence, the current work focuses on analyzing the recently used algorithms in the field, which could be a rich reference for researchers. Moreover, some research perspectives are identified.publishersversionpublishe
