BER Analysis of 5G Antennas and Modulation Schemes using UFMC

The conventional waveforms require strict orthogonally are not compatible with 5G networks. The orthogonal waveforms are highly sensitive to carrier frequency offset leads to high Bit Error Rate (BER). Some other waveforms like Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC) and Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM) needs large block of subcarriers for its filter, consequently more signal power is demanded. To minimize the BER and efficient utilization of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier MIMO (UFMC-MIMO) is proposed for QPSK, 16QAM and 64QAM. The simulation results show improvement in high order QAMs and for large antenna configurations.
