Link to System Mapping for FBMC Based Systems in SISO case

The main emphasis of this paper is on the validation of physical level (PHY) abstraction methods for Filter Bank based Multi-Carrier (FBMC) systems. This kind of abstraction is the required element connecting link and system level simulations involved nowadays as an essential part in the development process of every new technology. In this paper we briefly introduce FBMC broadband systems and the scenario of its coexistence with Professional Mobile Radios (PMR). Then we overview existing algorithms of link to system (L2S) mapping. Finally, comparison of MI-based algorithms is performed with the help of link level simulator capable to produce Orthogonal Orthogonal Frequency- Division Multiplexing with Cyclic Prefix (CP-OFDM) and FBMC results based on LTE specification.
