GFDM: A Flexible Waveform for Future Wireless Networks

Future Wireless Networks generation mobile networks are expected to support a variety of applications and diverse requirements that goes the standard OFDM solutions. Vodafone Chair, an integrant of the Dresden 5G Lab, is conducting investigations into a new modulation scheme termed GFDM (Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing) and will present a proof-of-concept implementation based on National Instruments’ software defined radio platforms. The setup considers a complete transceiver chain encompassing a SISO link and a channel emulator to allow the investigation of many aspects of future flexible PHY approaches.
