AbstractThe latency requirements, faster data rate requirement and emerging Internet of Things brings the necessity of new PHY layer scheme to suffice them. The concepts Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexng (OFDM),Generalized Frequency Division Multiplex- ing (GFDM),Signal to noise ratio (SNR),Bit Error Rate (BER),etc. are significant concepts for this. OFDM has been a promised multiplexing scheme over the past decade till present. This research was carried out in-order to evaluate and compare the performance in terms of BER and PAPR of OFDM and candidate GFDM, which is proposed to be a better scheme for future 5G networks.The behavior of the two systems under different SNR levels for a frequency selective Raleigh fading channel with four taps is being analyzed. The simulation is implemented in MATLAB R2013a platform. GFDM being a promising candidate scheme for 5G networks evaluation and development of its performance with the current scheme, OFDM is a necessity.
