Conjugate-Root Offset-QAM for Orthogonal Multicarrier Transmission

Information Theory 2016-05-04 v2 math.IT

Abstract

Current implementations of OFDM/OQAM are restricted to band-limited symmetric filters. To circumvent this, non-symmetric conjugate root (CR) filters are proposed for OQAM modulation. The system is applied to Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM) and a method for achieving transmit diversity with OQAM modulation is presented. The proposal reduces implementation complexity compared to existing works and provides a more regular phase space. GFDM/CR-OQAM outperforms conventional GFDM in terms of symbol error rate in fading multipath channels and provides a more localized spectrum compared to conventional OQAM.
