Frequency Spreading Equalization in Multicarrier Massive MIMO
Application of filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) as an effective method for
signaling over massive MIMO channels has been recently proposed. This paper
further expands the application of FBMC to massive MIMO by applying frequency
spreading equalization (FSE) to these channels. FSE allows us to achieve a more
accurate equalization. Hence, higher number of bits per symbol can be
transmitted and the bandwidth of each subcarrier can be widened. Widening the
bandwidth of each subcarrier leads to (i) higher bandwidth efficiency; (ii)
lower complexity; (iii) lower sensitivity to carrier frequency offset (CFO);
(iv) reduced peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR); and (iv) reduced latency. All
these appealing advantages have a direct impact on the digital as well as
analog circuitry that is needed for the system implementation. In this paper,
we develop the mathematical formulation of the minimum mean square error (MMSE)
FSE for massive MIMO systems. This analysis guides us to decide on the number
of subcarriers that will be sufficient for practical channel models.Comment: Accepted in IEEE ICC 2015 - Workshop on 5G & Beyond - Enabling

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
