Abstract

In 5G and future mobile networks, multi-carrier techniques will greatly multiply data rate to meet people’s requirements of high-speed mobile services. Traditionally, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) got a wide application for past decade. While OFDM has many nice aspects, it also has some disadvantages making it less attractive in the fifth generation (5G). Based on this, several advanced techniques supposed in latest literature were expected to replace OFDM because of their respective technical advantages in spectrum efficiency, complexity, compatibility and some aspects. Filter Bank Multi Carrier (FBMC), Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM) and Filter Bank OFDM (FB-OFDM) were reviewed in this paper. Also, their characteristics were compared with each other briefly.
