Orthogonal Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (OGFDM)
type: CreativeWork
description: This thesis focuses on introducing a novel technique of the transmission waveform termed as orthogonal generalized frequency division multiplexing (OGFDM) for increasing the wireless channel capacity without the need for extra bandwidth (BW) size or power consumption. The new wireless waveform (OGFDM) tends to obtain a better BW efficiency which in turn can increase highly the wireless channel capacity in comparison with the generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) and cyclic-prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP-OFDM). The main feature of the OGFDM is developing the physical layer of future mobile networks by achieving the orthogonality between non-orthogonal filters, removing the interference between adjacent frequency subcarriers, and gaining a flexible bit loading scheme. Since the key downsides of the 4G waveform (CP-OFDM), several alternative transmission waveforms have been investigated for improving transmission techniques of the upcoming communication networks (5G and beyond). This, as a result, comes up with introducing the GFDM as the best candidate waveform for the 5G air interface. Nevertheless, due to ignoring the orthogonality with the GFDM, the BW efficiency is severely affected which in turn causes in extremely reducing the gained channel capacity (research gap). For this reason, the proposed OGFDM waveform aims to improve wireless channel capacity by investigating different levels of processing and carrier schemes. As such, three key levels called as filtration level, oversampling level, and modulation level are adopted for a variant range of OGFDM carriers like a single carrier, couple carrier, quadruple carrier, and multi-carrier system. Regarding the single carrier OGFDM system where the filtration level is developed, the orthogonality is attained between the non-orthogonal filters of the GFDM frequency subcarriers. The core idea behind this novel technique is increasing the efficiency of the applied BW which in turn ca…
