Abstract

Generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) is one of the most promising candidate Multiple Access technologies for the 5G of wireless communication, as it shows great potential and benefits to help create a networked society for the next generation. GFDM is a wave technology that shows it's advantages through flexibility in spectrum usage, to adapt to the requirements of channel conditions, low latency, noise reduction, as well as reduction of Out-Of-Band (OOB) emissions. In this paper, an overview of the development and performance analysis of GFDM in the next generation is presented, and a group of technologies that have been integrated and used with this technology are discussed, such as Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems, channel coding, channel estimation, pulse shaping filters, and many other technologies. As well as other technologies that will improve the performance of wireless networks. The strengths and weaknesses of this technology will be discussed, and an analysis of the system's capabilities in terms of bit OOB, Peak-To-Average Power Ratio (PAPR), Bit Error Rate (BER), and Signal-To-Noise Ratio (SNR) will be performed. In addition to discussing researchers' visions for other technologies with GFDM and the future dimension of GFDM research
