Universal Filtered Multicarrier for 5G

The future cellular networks intend to achieve even higher data rates and for this reason needs to be more robust against inter channel interference (ICI) and inter symbol interference (ISI). There are certain limitations that would not allow orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to work efficiently for future requirements of cellular networks, which includes machine-to-machine (M2M) communication and Internet-of-things (IoT). In this paper the multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system is implemented with universal filtered multicarrier (UFMC) to increase its efficiency in order to achieve even higher data rates with reduced bit error rate (BER). The research would aim to evaluate the performance of UFMC MIMO for different antenna configurations and digital modulation schemes.
