Efficient Fast-Convolution Implementation of Filtered CP-OFDM Waveform Processing for 5G

This paper investigates the use of effective and flexible fast-convolution (FC) filtering scheme for multiplexing OFDM resource blocks (RBs) in a spectrally well-localized manner. The scheme is able to effectively suppress interference leakage between adjacent RBs, thus supporting asynchronous operation and independent waveform parametrization of RBs. This is considered as an important feature in 5G waveform development for effectively supporting diversified service characteristics. Our approach is applicable for cyclic prefix or zero prefix based OFDM and the corresponding OFDM based single-carrier (SC-FDMA) waveforms. It is also possible to generate and process traditional Nyquist pulse shaping based single-carrier waveforms and filter bank multicarrier waveforms using the same FC processing engine, accommodating different waveforms simultaneously in different RBs. Our case study is based on proposed numerology for 5G cm-wave communications utilizing flexible time-division duplexing principle. While using RBs of 160 OFDM subcarriers, it is enough to deactivate 3 to 5 subcarriers out of each RB as guardbands to effectively suppress interference leakage between RBs.
