Flexible hardware implementation of universal filtered Multi-carrier systems (T-0434) (MFN 6909)

Abstract

Flexibly supporting multiple services, each having different frame structure with unique requirements for the communication has been identified as one of the most important and promising characteristics of the next generation and beyond wireless communication system. With the entry of machine type communication(MTC) in 5G technology the researcher is keen to find the derivate of (OFDM). Filter Bank Multi Carrier FBMC and Universal Filter Multicarrier UFMC technique are under study with respective their suitability with 5G requirement. In addition to acceptable performance, investigation on computational complexity reduction can help in selecting among different candidate waveforms for 5G. Recently a low complexity solution is design for reduced complexity UFMC implementations without compromising the performance. Based on our simplified solution we have shown in this thesis that computation can be further reduced in IFFT operations while keeping flexibility into consideration. Hardware architecture for flexible and simplified IFFT computation block of UFMC keeping LTE carrier allocation has been proposed. Software model as refence for hardware descriptive model are created and at last IFFT block is implemented on FPGA
