Abstract
Bandwidth and latency in future 5G and beyond multiple access systems are two extremely important metrics for which the requirements are very strict. Filter Bank Multi-Carrier (FBMC) is a promising scheme that can satisfy many future requirements due to its advantageous spectral characteristics. However, the required computational complexity is one of its major drawbacks. In this paper, we propose two improved receiver structures for the PolyPhase Network (PPN) based FBMC receivers. These improved structures reduce the complexity of the receivers to almost half of the conventional PPN receivers taking advantage of the real valued signal processing. We also investigate the Sliding Window (SW) equalizer technique to enable the implementation of the proposed structures in multipath environments. Furthermore, we propose two modifications to the SW equalization method. First, by using the Hopping Discrete Fourier Transform (HDFT) the complexity requirements can be reduced. Second, by applying overlapped windows the overall system performance in terms of bit error rate can be improved.
