The fifth generation (5G) wireless network technology is to be standardized by 2020, where
main goals are to improve capacity, reliability, and energy efficiency, while reducing latency …

As the standardization activities are being formed to lay the foundation of 5G wireless
networks, there is a common consensus on the need to replace the celebrated orthogonal …

In recent years, underwater visible light communication (UVLC) has become a potential
wireless carrier candidate for signal transmission in highly critical, unknown, and …

Abstract 5G cellular networks are expected to be the key infrastructure to deliver the
emerging services. These services bring new requirements and challenges that obstruct the …

The fifth generation (5G) mobile communication networks will require a major paradigm shift
to satisfy the increasing demand for higher data rates, lower network latencies, better energy …

The underlying waveform has always been a shaping factor for each generation of the
cellular networks, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for the 4th …

All new 5G mobile technology is expected to be operational by 2020. This time, it is therefore
crucial to know the direction of research and developments enabling 5G technology. This …

The parameters of physical layer radio frame for 5th generation (5G) mobile cellular systems
are expected to be flexibly configured to cope with diverse requirements of different …

One key advantage of 4G OFDM system is the relatively simple receiver implementation due
to the orthogonal resource allocation. However, from sum-capacity and spectral efficiency …

In this paper we compare three candidate multicarrier waveforms for the air interface of 5G:
filtered CP-OFDM-the choice for 4G, FBMC-heavily discussed in recent years, and Universal …
