Perfomance Evalution for the FBMC-OQAM in the mobile fading channel

Abstract

Compared to Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), Filter Bank Multi-Carrier (FBMC) waveforms have better spectral characteristics and good interference immunity. The FBMC-OQAM technology combining Filter Bank Multi-Carrier (FBMC) and Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (OQAM) has the characteristics of high spectral efficiency and no synchronization in wireless communication systems. The simulation shows that the SER performance decreases as the modulation's order increases. Furthermore, the minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalization outperforms better than the zero-forcing (ZF) equalization.1
