The tremendous growth of wireless applications and the demand for high data rate, the spectrum utilization improvement has been the most crucial challenges for wireless communication. Adapting cognitive radio with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing or offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OFDM/OQAM) improves the spectrum and energy efficiencies.

Thus, it overcomes the spectral leakage problem at the transmitter side and leads to less interference from secondary user (SUs) to primary user (PUs) and between the SUs in cognitive radio technology. The benefit of exploiting pulse shape filtering in the OFDM/OQAM is to not only eliminate the requirement of the guard bands but also reduce the out of band energy transmission, which also improves the spectral isolation from the neighboring systems. But the high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) phenomenon is a common issue in the majority of the multicarrier modulation systems and thus OFDM/OQAM is no exception in this case.

Therefore, this paper aims to examine the effect of integrating the Walsh–Hadamard Transform (WHT) on the power spectral density and investigates the problem of PAPR in the WHT/OQAM system.

In order to optimize BER and to substantiate performance measures, initially, the filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) performance metrics are evaluated with the cyclic prefix-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) system. The efficiency of CP-OFDM, as well as FBMC/QAM that is transmitting over specific fading channels, is evaluated in terms of quality trade-off metrics over bit error rate (BER) as well as modulation order. When compared with the traditional FBMC systems, the proposed FBMC QAM system shows better performance. The performance metrics of FBMC/QAM with the inclusion of multiuser multiple-input-multiple-output (MUMIMO) is validated with worst case channel environment. The performance penalty gap that exists in CP- OFDM is compared with improved FBMC QAM in terms of both BER and OOB radiation measures. The BER trade off comparison between ML and MMSE optimally determine the prominent signal detection model for high performance FBMC QAM system.

The main objective of this research work is to provide perceptions about performance, co-channel interference avoidance as well as about the techniques that are used for minimizing the complexity of the system that is related to FBMC QAM structure for reducing intrinsic interference with higher spectral features as well as maximal likelihood (ML) detector systems.

This research work also looks at the efficiency of multiuser multiple-input-multiple-output (MU-MIMO) FBMC/QAM over nonlinear channels. Furthermore, when compared with OFDM, it also significantly reduces the penalty gap efficiency, thereby enabling the accessibility of the proposed FBMC QAM system from BER as well as implementation point of view. Finally, the signal detection is facilitated by the sub-detector and is achieved on the downlink side by making use of threshold-driven statistical measures that accurately minimize the complexity trade-off measures of the ML detector over modulation order. The computation of the proposed FBMC method’s BER performance measures was carried out through MATLAB simulation environments, as well as efficiency of the suggested work was demonstrated through detailed analyses.

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate a proficiency for accomplishing optimal CFO and keep down the error among the received and transmitted signal. Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is considered as an attractive modulation scheme that could be adopted in wireless communication systems owing to its reliability in opposition to multipath interruptions under different subchannels. Carrier frequency offset (CFO) establishes inter-carrier interference that devastates the orthogonality between the subcarriers and fluctuates the preferred signal and minimizes the effectual signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This results in corrupted system performance. For sustaining the subcarriers’ orthogonality, timing errors and CFOs have to be approximated and sufficiently compensated for. Single carrier modulation (SCM) is a major feature for efficient OFDM system.

This paper introduces a novel superposition coded modulation-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (SCM-OFDM) system with optimal CFO estimation using advanced optimization algorithm. The effectiveness of SCM-OFDM is validated by correlating the transmitted and received signal. Hence, the primary objective of the current research work is to reduce the error among the transmitted and received signal. The received signal involves CFO, which has to be tuned properly to get the signal as closest as possible with transmitted signal. The optimization or tuning of CFO is done by improved grey wolf optimization (GWO) called GWO with self-adaptiveness (GWO-SA). Further, it carries the performance comparison of proposed model with state-of-the-art models with the analysis on bit error rate (BER) and mean square error (MSE), thus validating the system’s performance.

From the analysis, BER of the proposed and conventional schemes for CFO at 0.25 was determined, where the adopted scheme at 10th SNR was 99.6 per cent better than maximum likelihood, 99.6 per cent better than least mean square (LMS), 99.3 per cent better than particle swarm optimization (PSO), 75 per cent better than genetic algorithm (GA) and 25 per cent better than GWO algorithms. Moreover, MSE at 1st SNR, the proposed GWO-SA scheme, is 4.62 per cent better than LMS, 60.1 per cent better than PSO, 37.82 better than GA and 67.85 per cent better than GWO algorithms. Hence, it is confirmed that the performance of SCM-OFDM system with GWO-SA-based CFO estimation outperformed the state-of-the-art techniques.

This paper presents a technique for attaining optimal CFO and to minimize the error among the received and transmitted signal. This is the first work that uses GWO-SA for attaining optimal CFO.

The purpose of this paper is to study the performance of generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) in some frequency selective fading channels. The exact symbol error rate (SER) expressions in Hoyt (Nakagami-q) and Weibull-v fading channels are derived. A GFDM transceiver simulation test bed is provided to validate the obtained analytical expressions.

Modern cellular system demands higher data rates, very low-latency transmissions and sensors with ultra low-power consumption. Current cellular systems of the fourth generation (4G) are not able to meet these emerging demands of future mobile communication systems. To address this requirement, GFDM, a novel multi-carrier modulation technique is proposed to satisfy the future needs of fifth generation technology. GFDM is a block-based transmission method where pulse shaping is applied circularly to individual subcarriers. Unlike traditional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, GFDM transmits multiple symbols per subcarrier. The authors have used the probability density function approach in solving the final analytical expressions.
