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

MIMO-UFMC Transceiver Schemes for Millimeter Wave Wireless Communications
The UFMC modulation is among the most considered solutions for the
realization of beyond-OFDM air interfaces for future wireless networks. This
paper focuses on the design and analysis of an UFMC transceiver equipped with
multiple antennas and operating at millimeter wave carrier frequencies. The
paper provides the full mathematical model of a MIMO-UFMC transceiver, taking
into account the presence of hybrid analog/digital beamformers at both ends of
the communication links. Then, several detection structures are proposed, both
for the case of single-packet isolated transmission, and for the case of
multiple-packet continuous transmission. In the latter situation, the paper
also considers the case in which no guard time among adjacent packets is
inserted, trading off an increased level of interference with higher values of
spectral efficiency. At the analysis stage, the several considered detection
structures and transmission schemes are compared in terms of bit-error-rate,
root-mean-square-error, and system throughput. The numerical results show that
the proposed transceiver algorithms are effective and that the linear MMSE data
detector is capable of well managing the increased interference brought by the
removal of guard times among consecutive packets, thus yielding throughput
gains of about 10 - 13 . The effect of phase noise at the receiver is also
numerically assessed, and it is shown that the recursive implementation of the
linear MMSE exhibits some degree of robustness against this disturbance
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
Analysis of Candidate Waveforms for 5G Cellular Systems
Choice of a suitable waveform is a key factor in the design of 5G physical layer. New waveform/s must be capable of supporting a greater density of users, higher data throughput and should provide more efficient utilization of available spectrum to support 5G vision of “everything everywhere and always connected” with “perception of infinite capacity”. Although orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been adopted as the transmission waveform in wired and wireless systems for years, it has several limitations that make it unsuitable for use in future 5G air interface. In this chapter, we investigate and analyse alternative waveforms that are promising candidate solutions to address the challenges of diverse applications and scenarios in 5G
Multicarrier Waveform Candidates for Beyond 5G
To fulfil the requirements of 5G vision of “everything everywhere and always connected”, a new waveform
must contain the features to support a greater number of users on high data rate. Although Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has been widely used in the 4th generation, but it can hardly meet the needs of 5G vision. However, many waveforms have been proposed to cope with new challenges. In this paper, we have presented a comparative analysis of several waveform candidates (FBMC, GFDM, UFMC, F-OFDM) on the basis of complexity, hardware design and other valuable characteristics. Filter based waveforms have much better Out of Band Emission (OoBE) as compared to OFDM. However, F-OFDM has smaller filter length compared to filter-based waveforms and provides better transmission with multiple antenna system without any extra processing, while providing flexible frequency multiplexing, shorter latency and relaxed synchronization as compared to other waveforms.This work is funded by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions

Performance Assessment of Dual-Polarized 5G Waveforms and Beyond in Directly Modulated DFB-Laser using Volterra Equalizer
International audienceWe investigate the performance of 25-Gbps dual-polarized orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based modulation in a directly modulated distributed feedback (DFB)-laser over 25 km of single-mode fiber. A Volterra equalizer is used to compensate for the nonlinear effects of the optical fiber. The results show that FBMC-OQAM modulation outperforms OFDM, universal filtered multicarrier (UFMC), and generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) waveforms. Indeed, a target bit error rate of similar to 3.8 x 10(-3) [forward error correction (FEC) limit] for FBMC, UFMC, OFDM, and GFDM can be achieved at -30.5, -26, -16, and -14.9 dBm, respectively. The effect of the DFB laser is also investigated for UFMC, OFDM, and GFDM, and they undergo a Q penalty of 2.44, 2.77, and 4.14 dB, respectively, at their FEC limit points. For FBMC-OQAM, the signal is perfectly recovered when excluding the DFB laser at -30.5 dBm. (C) 2020 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE
Modified isotropic orthogonal transform algorithm-universal filtered multicarrier transceiver for 5G cognitive radio application
Rapid developments in modern wireless communication permit the trade of spectrum scarcity. Higher data rate and wider bandwidth emerge the development in growing demand of wireless communication system. The innovative solution for the spectrum scarcity is cognitive radio (CR). Cognitive radio is the significant technology used to utilize the spectrum effectively. The important aspect of CR is sensing the spectrum band and detects the presence or absence of the primary user in the licensed band. Moreover, another serious issue in next generation (5G) wireless communication is to decide the less complex 5G waveform candidate for achieving higher data rate, low latency and better spectral efficiency. Universal filtered multi-carrier (UFMC) is one of the noticeable waveform candidates for 5G and its applications. In this article, we investigate the spectrum sensing methods in multi-carrier transmission for cognitive radio network applications. Especially, we integrate the sensing algorithm into UFMC transceiver to analyze the spectral efficiency, higher data rates and system complexity. Through the simulation results, we prove that the UFMC based cognitive radio applications outperform the existing Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based CR applications
A Hardware-Efficient and Reconfigurable UFMC Transmitter Architecture With its FPGA Prototype
[EN] Universal-filtered multicarrier (UFMC) is one of the potential candidates for 5G multicarrier waveforms due to its several attractive features such as suppressed out-of-band radiation to the nearby sub-band. However, the hardware realization of UFMC systems is limited by a large number of arithmetic units for inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) and pulse shaping filters. In this letter, we propose an architecture that presents a refreshing approach toward designing a low-complexity architecture for the baseband UFMC transmitter with Dolph-Chebyshev filter. Compared to the read-only-memory (ROM)-based state-of-the-art, the proposed architecture requires less number of ROM locations and has the flexibility to externally select the inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT)-size, number of sub-bands, and number of subcarriers in a sub-band. Moreover, we implement the proposed architecture on a commercially available Virtex-5 field-programmable gate array (FPGA) device for testing and analyzing the baseband UFMC signal. Finally, the XILINX post-route results are found comparable with MATLAB simulations.Kumar, V.; Mukherjee, M.; Lloret, J. (2020).
