Popis: Filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) is a strong waveform candidate for 5G instead of OFDM. However, FBMC is more sensitive to intrinsic interference which is resulting due to the orthogonality of the subcarrier functions in the real field only. This prevents the current channel estimation (CE) methods of OFDM from being applied to FBMC. A novel interference approximation method (IAM) is proposed in this paper relying on approximating the intrinsic interference from the neighboring pilots to improve CE performance besides simplifying its processing. The proposed IAM method uses pseudo pilots with magnitude larger than other conventional IAM methods. The proposed IAM method is compared with other conventional methods via different types of outdoors and indoors multipath fading channels including IEEE 802.22, IEEE 802.11, Rayleigh and AWGN. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed IAM method achieves a lower bit error rate (BER) and peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) under the aforementioned channel models.
