Survey of Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC) as an efficient waveform for 5G

Abstract

Filter bank multicarrier is a multicarrier scheme. It is a modulation technique to overcome the Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) and Inter Carrier Interference (ICI). The inter symbol interference is a big challenges in network systems. FBMC is a modification of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). In OFDM cyclic prefix are used for robustness of signal, but by using cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing has some drawbacks. To overcome the drawback of OFDM, use the Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC). It provides the efficient bandwidth. To handle this situation modulation techniques are used and other new methods will be used in future. One of them is Filter Bank Multicarrier; it provides high efficiency rather than OFDM.
