Abstract

This paper develops a generalized system model for the precoded multicarrier communication system, using basic multirate building blocks. Mathematical analysis of the proposed model is carried out, and the results are utilized in developing an efficient uplink wireless communication standard filter bank single carrier frequency division multiple access. The proposed system combines the low peak to average power ratio (PAPR) advantage of a single carrier communication system with the reduced out of band emission (OBE) of filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) scheme. The sensitivity of the proposed system to carrier frequency offset (CFO) is analyzed, and the results are utilized in developing a CFO compensation scheme with reduced complexity. A Nyquist filter design approach, which strikes a balance between OBE and tail size, is developed and is incorporated into the proposed system to enhance the OBE and PAPR characteristics. The instantaneous power of the proposed system is theoretically analyzed using characteristic function based approach, and the effectiveness of modifications is substantiated. A detailed simulation study is carried out to validate the performance of the proposals.
