  Abstract

SC-FDMA, a uplink standard for 4G mobile communication is selectively considered in 5G mobile communication. Meanwhile, to overcome the drawbacks of SC-FDMA such as demanding strict interuser synchronization, FBMC and LP-FBMC which is a improved version of FBMC are considered. However, the conventional researches cannot provide a meaningful performance comparison in the practical environments with various channel impairments because they evaluated with one-dimensional impairment. Hence, in this paper, we compare the performances of uplink modulation schemes in a situation where three major channel impairments in the uplink systems, i.e., interuser frequency/timing offsets and the nonlinear signal distortion caused by HPA, coexist. Simulation results show that the performances of SC-FDMA and FBMC are significantly degraded by the interuser frequency/timing offsets and the HPA nonlinearity, respectively. We investigate the preferred regions of major channel impairments where SC-FDMA ourperforms FBMC and vice versa. Also, we confirm that the LP-FBMC is robust to both the interuser frequency/timing offsets and HPA nonlinearity in any situation considered. In addition, we analyze the performance for nonlinear signal distortion based on a realistic model using the optimized signal power to clipping level and noise variance as well as the conventional (nonoptimized) signal power model.
