Abstract

Filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) is an emerging 5G technology due to its finer spectral characteristics than its counterpart orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM). In most cases, FBMC is united with an Offset Quadrature Amplitude modulation (OQAM) for individual sub-carrier to maximize the spectrum efficiency and Nyquist rate. But it is achieved at the cost of an inherent accumulative imaginary interference called intrinsic interference. When a channel is highly selective, the FBMC system undergoes inter-symbol-interference (ISI) and co-channel interference (CCI). In this research, we consider FBMC QAM as a solution to intrinsic interference and mitigates both ISI and CCI by incorporating ML equivalent signal detection. In this paper, some of the prominent issues related to the existing FBMC–OQAM are explored and its potential integrity constraints with existing MIMO and signal detection techniques are studied. In addition to that, a lightweight optimized ML which constitutes parallel sub-detectors with the least hardware complexity overhead is proposed. It also achieved a near-optimal performance that matches the CP-OFDM system. In this research, the experimental results proved that the proposed suboptimal ML detector offered significant complexity reduction with improved quality of services. Thus evidently shows the proposed system is attractive from both BER performance and hardware complexity reduction perspectives for 5G communications.
