Evaluation of FBMC Channel Estimation using multiple Auxiliary symbols for high throughput and low BER 5G and beyond communications 

Filter Bank Multi-Carrier (FBMC) modulation has been recognized as a consistent contender and a possible successor for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) in 5G and beyond because of its outstanding spectral properties. The channel is assessed in FBMC using pilot-symbol aided channel estimation that provides robust estimates even for severe channel conditions. In the present work, neutraliz ing the imaginary interference at the pilot positions is focused while estimating the channel. To neutralize the imaginary in terference, multiple auxiliary symbols have been proposed to enhance the throughput and channel capacity. The Iterative Minimum Mean Squared Error (IMMSE) cancellation scheme has been proposed to reduce the interference at the pilot and data positions. Transmission power, Bit Error Rate (BER) and throughput are computed for Filter Bank Multi Carrier (FBMC), OFDM and proven that better system performance is obtained for FBMC. The performance of channel estimation is evaluated through 5G standards and indicates that the usage of multiple auxiliary symbols per pilot leads to better throughput and low Bit Error Rate at low power transmission.
