Influence of Pulse Shaping Filters on PAPR Performance of Underwater 5G Communication System Technique: GFDM

الملخص EN

Generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) is a new candidate technique for the fifth generation (5G) standard based on multibranch multicarrier filter bank.

Unlike OFDM, it enables the frequency and time domain multiuser scheduling and can be implemented digitally.

It is the generalization of traditional OFDM with several added advantages like the low PAPR (peak to average power ratio).

In this paper, the influence of the pulse shaping filter on PAPR performance of the GFDM system is investigated and the comparison of PAPR in OFDM and GFDM is also demonstrated.

The PAPR is restrained by selecting proper parameters and filters to make the underwater acoustic communication more efficient.
