Comparison of performance between OFDM and GFDM in a 3.5GHz band 5G hybrid Fiber-Wireless link using SDR

This work presents a comparison between Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing OFDM and Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing GFDM to evaluate the latency and bit error rate in a Fiber-wireless link in 3.5 GHz band using Software Defined Radio SDR, taking into account its feasibility for the 5G networks in the future.
