Comparison of 5G waveform candidates in high speed scenario

This paper focuses on performance evaluation of waveforms in the fifth generation, i.e. universal-filtered multi-carrier technique (UFMC), resource block filtered orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (RB-F-OFDM), filtered-OFDM (F-OFDM), and filter-bank multi-carrier (FBMC) in high speed scenarios. The block error rates (BLERs) of the channel model of tapped-delay-line-D (TDL-D) defined in 3GPP TR 38.900 are evaluated with respect to signal-to-nosie ration (SNR), terminal speed and carrier frequency offset (CFO). Simulation results indicate that RB-F-OFDM is recommended for high speed scenario due to the robustness in terms of high mobility and CFO.
