On spectral efficiency of asynchronous OFDM/FBMC based cellular networks

The growing demand for wireless communication makes it important to determine the capacity limits of the different multicarrier systems. In this paper, we address the impact of imperfect inter-cell synchronization on the average capacity of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and filter bank based multicarrier (FBMC) multi-cellular networks. Based on computing the moment generating functions of the asynchronous interference power, a simple new expression for the exact evaluation of the average capacity is derived considering the frequency correlation fading between adjacent interfering subcarriers.
