Spectral efficiency evaluation of 5G waveform candidates

Abstract

To increase the performance and to meet quality of service (QoS) requirements of future wireless communication and networks, some of these approaches compete for incorporation in future wireless standards such as fifth generation (5G). In this paper comparative study and performance evaluation in terms of spectral efficiency (SE) their PAPR of different 5G waveform candidates. Most multicarrier schemes suffer from high PAPR and are not suitable when high energy efficiency is required.
