5G new modulation candidates: FBMC, UFMC
Waveform Generation & End-to-end Simulation with MATLAB
16
§ 5G systems require both spectral efficiency and robust synchronization
§ Majority of candidates: Multi-carrier, Non-Orthogonal waveforms
§ Members of “filtered” OFDM designs:1. FBMC: Filter-Bank Multi-Carrier2. UFMC: Universal Filtered Multi-
Carrier3. GFDM: Generalized Frequency
Division Multiplexing
5G Waveforms: New Modulation Schemes
17
Filter-Bank Multi-carrier (FBMC)
§ Introduce per-subcarrier filtering to reduce the side-lobes§ Couple of implementation options:
– Frequency spreading (extended iFFT/FFT)– Poly-phase network (more efficient, commonly employed)
Disadvantages:§ Non-orthogonal in complex plane, overlapped symbols§ A more complicated receiver structure, esp. for MIMO
Demo
18
Universal Filtered Multi-carrier (UFMC)
§ Filtering applied per sub-bands (not per sub-carrier as in FBMC)– Filtering parameterized by side-lobe attenuation– Reduced filter length (compared to FBMC)– Good for short bursts, suited for uplink with multiple users
§ Orthogonal in the complex plane– use QAM symbols, reapply MIMO schemes
§ Receiver complexity– Similar to OFDM, use per subcarrier equalization
Demo
19
5G Challenges and Our solutions§ New Modulation Schemes
– Performance characteristics of FBMC, UFMC, etc.
§ More Antennas– Beamforming and precoding algorithms – Antenna arrays and Massive MIMO
§ New Frequency Bands– RF system architectures design in mmWave frequencies– Advanced Antenna, RF and DSP Co-Design– Channel modeling from real-world measurement data
§ Real Hardware Verification and Prototyping– Hardware testbed to verify designs with live radio signals in realistic scenarios
for standards such as LTE & Wi-Fi– Quick prototyping on FPGA
