Performance evaluation of the universal filtered multi-carrier communications under various multipath fading propagation conditions

The Universal filtered multi-carrier (UFMC) which filtering successive sub-bands for supporting sliced spectrum is one of the enabling approaches for the fifth generation (5G) mobile networks. The UFMC system not only provides a flexibility of filtering arbitrary number of subcarriers to diminish out of band (OoB) leakage, but also maintains the orthogonality between subbands and subcarriers inside one sub-band at the same time. The simulation is conducted that utilizing the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) processing of the long-term evolution (LTE) system with the UFMC and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) schemes under various multipath fading propagation conditions.
