Universal Filtered Multicarrier Receiver Complexity Reduction to Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Receiver

The Universal Filtered Multicarrier (UFMC) waveform technology is one of the promising waveforms for 5G and beyond networks. Owing 2N-point Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) processor at UFMC receiver, computational implementation complexity two times more than conventional Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) receiver system. In this paper, we proposed a simplified structure to reduce as well hardware requirements. received symbol exactly its equivalent after performing FFT decimation operations. which, mathematical model frequency-domain signal rederived processing through decimator, generated with an N-point FFT. Accordingly, decimator are replaced single processor. This approach reduces 50% level hence time. approximately OFDM receiver. Additionally, analyzed comparative performance system model.
