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

Time-Frequency Warped Waveforms
The forthcoming communication systems are advancing towards improved
flexibility in various aspects. Improved flexibility is crucial to cater
diverse service requirements. This letter proposes a novel waveform design
scheme that exploits axis warping to enable peaceful coexistence of different
pulse shapes. A warping transform manipulates the lattice samples non-uniformly
and provides flexibility to handle the time-frequency occupancy of a signal.
The proposed approach enables the utilization of flexible pulse shapes in a
quasi-orthogonal manner and increases the spectral efficiency. In addition, the
rectangular resource block structure, which assists an efficient resource
allocation, is preserved with the warped waveform design as well.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures; accepted version (The URL for the final version:
