To assess the implementation feasibility and provide a practical experimental validation of the filterbank multicarrier (FBMC) scheme proposed in the EMPhAtiC project, a real-time hardware demonstrator was developed using two complementary software-defined radio (SDR) design methodologies. The...

The requirements for data rate and capacity in wireless communication systems have increased dramatically over the last couple of decades, and it is expected that this increase will continue in the years to come. Including higher frequency bands providing additional bandwidth is a key strategy to...

In this paper, an experimental performance evaluation is carried out within a communication scenario that features two of the key enablers of 5G: (i) the use of post-OFDM modulations and (ii) an efficient use of the spectrum via spectrum sharing. The experimental lab set-up has been assembled so as...

Filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) is a candidate modulation scheme for 5G cellular mobile broadband networks. A specific domain where FBMC offers a clear advantage over other multicarrier solutions is the efficient occupancy of underutilized and fragmented spectrum. This is due to the rich spectral...

AeroMACS is a system currently under development for airport surface communications. It is based on the IEEE802.16-2009 standard, and is developed in cooperation with the WiMAX forum. The frequency band allocated to AeroMACS is 5091-5150 MHz. When specifying the AeroMACS system, knowledge of typical...

This report contains simulations of performance for different versions of ADSL, VDSL and SHDSL in 0.4 mm twisted pair cables. An important part of the work has been to investigate the compatibility between different DSL systems. The range of SHDSL system compliant with ITU G.991.2 Annex G has been...
