1 Introduction
2 Extended-GFDM scheme
-
Low latency: Since equalization is processed within one block, extended-GFDM has the advantage of low delay. In addition, cyclic filtering used in extended-GFDM scheme prevents to generate tail symbols, and thus, it has lower latency compared to linear filtered multicarrier modulations.
-
Spectral efficiency: Extended-GFDM improves guard time overhead ratio compared with OFDM through sharing one CP among multiple time slots.
-
Flexible structure: In wireless cellular networks, small-M, large-K configurations can be employed for downlink to provide multiple access and large-M, small-K configurations may be used for uplink to mitigate PAPR.
