Abstract
Recently, the development of mobile technology has reached a point that requires a high data rate with high waveform aspects. So, traditional ways are no further tolerable. With the dawn of the fifth generation (5G), researchers have been investigating its waveforms and experimenting the methods to improve it. This research examines universal filter multi-carrier (UFMC) for a novel strategy by employing multi-windowing UFMC-based (MW-UFMC) to boost the power spectral density (PSD). This was accomplished by lowering out-of-band emission (OOBE), bit error rate (BER), and adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR). The 256quadrature amplitude modulation (256QAM) mapping modulation method was employed in this work. 256QAM is the maximum modulation level that is standard for the third-generation partnership project (3GPP). The proposed MW-UFMC is compared with the conventional UFMC and cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP-OFDM). The proposed multi-windowing technique p...

Novel Universal Windowing Multicarrier Waveform for 5G Systems
Computers, Materials & Continua
Fifth Generation (5G) systems aim to improve flexibility, coexistence and diverse service in several aspects to achieve the emerging applications requirements. Windowing and filtering of the traditional multicarrier waveforms are now considered common sense when designing more flexible waveforms. This paper proposed a Universal Windowing Multi-Carrier (UWMC) waveform design platform that is flexible, providing more easily coexists with different pulse shapes, and reduces the Out of Band Emissions (OOBE), which is generated by the traditional multicarrier methods that used in the previous generations of the mobile technology. The novel proposed approach is different from other approaches that have been proposed, and it is based on applying a novel modulation approach for the Quadrature-Amplitude Modulation (64-QAM) which is considered very popular in mobile technology. This new approach is done by employing flexible pulse shaping windowing, by assigning windows to various bands. This leads to decreased side-lobes, which are going to reduce OOBE and boost the spectral efficiency by assigning them to edge subscribers only. The new subband windowing (UWMC) will also maintain comprehensively the non-orthogonality by a variety of windowing and make sure to keep window time the same for all subbands. In addition, this paper shows that the new approach made the Bit Error Rate (BER) equal to the conventional Windowed-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (W-OFDM). This platform achieved great improvement for some other Key Performance Indicators (KPI), such as the Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) compared with the conventional (W-OFDM) and the conventional Universal Filtered Multicarrier (UFMC) approaches. In particular, the proposed windowing scheme outperforms previous designs in terms of the Power Spectral Density (PSD) by 58% and the (BER) by 1.5 dB and This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.

International Journal for Research in Applied Science & Engineering Technology (IJRASET), 2022
This article describes about to analyse the spectral efficiency of different modulation techniques in OFDM and UFMC. UFMC is a multi-carrier modulation technique in fifth generation network (5G). In this paper, we review the different modulation techniques in 5G technology and motivate the need of UFMC technique in 5G wireless communication. In 4G OFDM modulation technique, some drawbacks like side band leakages, high Peak to Average Power ratio (PAPR) and spectrum utilization degrades the performance of the system. Another multi carrier technique called Filter Bank Multi carrier (FBMC) which is better than OFDM, have some issues in practical aspects. So by considering the above parameters a move to another technique called Universal Filtered Multi Carrier (UFMC) is used because of good spectrum usage. This paper also explains about the UFMC system model. Based on the Simulation results in MATLAB, the spectrum utilization of UFMC system is much better than OFDM system.

Journal of Southwest Jiaotong University
In this study, filtered orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (F-OFDM) and universal filtered multicarrier (UFMC) were proposed for complexity reduction in the 5G waveform. Cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP_OFDM) is well suited for 4G; however, the major problem of the 4G modulation methods is their susceptibility to high peak to average power ratio (PAPR). Another problem of OFDM is the issue of sideband leakage. The existing 4G systems mainly depend on the CP_OFDM waveform, which cannot support the host of applications provided by the 5G platform. 5G-generated traffic is likely to exhibit different features and requirements compared to the existing wireless technology. Consequently, investigations have been devoted to other multiple access schemes. The existing limitations of OFDM can be mitigated by using the UFMC technique. To ensure that the demands and requirements of the upcoming 5G cellular networks are satisfied, this study presents an enable...

A New SLM-UFMC Model for Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier to Reduce Cubic Metric and Peak to Average Power Ratio in 5G Technology
Symmetry
The new generation of wireless communication systems has adopted different waveforms. The universal filtered multicarrier is one of the adopted candidates that has symmetry with various numerology designs. However, the high peak to average power ratio is one of the major limitations faced by universal filter multicarrier (UFMC) designers. Moreover, recent studies utilize cubic metric along with the peak to average power ratio (PAPR) to show the power back-off effect of the signal in which the PAPR metric identifies the maximum peak and the cubic metric (CM) identifies the Out of Band emission and In-Band distortion. Most of the current solutions, such as amplitude clipping, tone reservation, and active constellation extension, decrease the PAPR but cause degradation to the bit error rate. Selected mapping is one of the promising techniques that is recently used to solve the PAPR and CM problems without causing bit error rate (BER) degradation. In this paper, the selected mapping (SL...

Filtered orthogonal frequency division multiplexing for improved 5G systems
10.11591/eei.v10i4.3119, 2021
Wireless communications became an integrated part of the human life. Fifth generation (5G) is the modern communication which provides enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra reliable low latency communications (URLLC), and massive machine type communication (mMTC). Thus, 5G have to provide coverage to multi-numerology devices, therefore, modulation and access schemes are suggested in the literature such as cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) and filtered OFDM (f-OFDM). CP-OFDM suffers from the high out of band emission which limited the multi-numerology applications. In f-OFDM, the out of band emission can be suppressed to an accepted extent such that different numerologies can be coexisting. On the other hand, f-OFDM can be more improved by using a proper filtering approach. In this paper three different filters are suggested based windowed-sinc function; Hanning, Hamming, and Blackman. Simulation results show that the proposed filters are promising for high spectral efficiency and out of band emission rejection. Furthermore, the bit error rate, error vector magnitude, and power spectral density are further improved with respect to CP-OFDM scheme but some trade-off is present. Overall, the suggested windowed-sinc filters are outperforming the traditional CP-OFDM. As a conclusion, the suggested windnowed-sinc filters have no limitations on the modulation order or the number of subcarriers utilized in the system.

In surveillance of the contemporary swift growth of progressing networks, attention has been enthralled mostly on the operational properties of multifaceted networks in wireless communications. A number of mammoth simulated networks of this thoughtful have lately been fashioned, which opens an extensive field for the study of their topology, advancement, and the intricate processes which transpire in them. Fifth Generation (5G) will have to survive with a high degree of heterogeneity in relations to services and necessities. Amid these end, the malleable and well-organized use of non-contiguous unexploited spectrum for diverse network disposition scenarios is well-thought-out a key encounter for 5G, New Radio (NR) systems. Furthermore, this study weighs and equates the complexity of the different waveforms. Keen valuations on Spectral Efficiency, Power Spectral Density, Peak-to-Average Power Ratio and robustness to asynchronous multiuser uplink transmission have been explored in this study. The reimbursements of these new wave-form for the anticipated 5G uses cases are noticeably highlighted on illustrative standards and experiments. Each network will be accountable for handling user-mobility, although the terminal will make the final optimal among different wireless/mobile access network suppliers for a given service. The main impact of this study is definition of 5G mobile network perception, which is seen as user-centric notion in its place of operator-centric as in Third Generation (3G) or service-centric concept as seen for Fourth Generation (4G). The 5G terminals will have software distinct radios and modulation scheme as well as new error-control schemes can be downloaded from the Internet on the run. The growth is seen towards the user terminals as an emphasis of the 5G mobile networks. The theoretical results are further verified using Matlab evaluations for Spectral Efficiency, Power Spectral Density and Peak-to-Average ratio. The evaluation results reveal that if an apriori information on the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) is present, it is possible to highly increase the Spectral Efficiency (SE) of the transmission.
