Performance analysis of various 5G multicarrier techniques

Since 5G is an up-and-coming technology, simulation of proposed modulation techniques i.e. Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC), Universal Filtered Multicarrier (UFMC) is necessary. This project aims to compare the performance of the various contenders for the fifth generation. The performance Universal-Filtered Multi-Carrier (UFMC) and Filter Bank Multi-carrier (FBMC) are compared with the performance of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology used as the main concept in fourth generation (4G). As all signals are susceptible to Rayleigh and Rician fading it is necessary to analyse the performance of the modulation techniques when subjected to fading.
