Comparisons of filter bank multicarrier systems

In this paper, we compare three filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) techniques, i.e., Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), OFDM-Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (OFDM-OQAM) and wavelet packet modulation (WPM), based on multiple criteria, including bandwidth efficiency, computational complexity, latency, out-of-band emission, peak-to-average power ratio, and sensitivity to timing and frequency offsets. An efficient implementation of OFDM-OQAM is also proposed for a special case.
