In this study, generalized filter bank orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (GFB-OFDM) is proposed for 6G. In order to meet the different requirements of various scenarios in 6G, a unified structure of GFB-OFDM is designed by adopting the flexible capabilities of suitable transmission modules. In the proposed GFB-OFDM system, the coexistence of different numerologies in different sub-bands and/or the coexistence of single-carrier and multi-carrier waveforms are achieved for adjusting different scenarios in 6G. Finally, simulation results are provided to validate the BER performance of GFB-OFDM, showing that it is capable of achieving a comparable BER performance and much more flexible transmissions compared with the classic OFDM systems.

A spatial modulation-aided orthogonal time frequency space (SM-OTFS) scheme is proposed for high-Doppler scenarios, which relies on a low-complexity distance-based detection algorithm. We first derive the delay-Doppler (DD) domain input-output relationship of our SM-OTFS system by exploiting an SM mapper, followed by characterizing the doubly-selective channels considered. Then we propose a distance-based ordering subspace check detector (DOSCD) exploiting the a priori information of the transmit symbol vector. Moreover, we derive the discrete-input continuous-output memoryless channel (DCMC) capacity of the system. Finally, our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed SM-OTFS system outperforms the conventional single-input-multiple-output (SIMO)-OTFS system, and that the DOSCD conceived is capable of striking an attractive bit error ratio (BER) vs. complexity trade-off.

We first derive the delay-Doppler (DD) domain input-output relationship of our SM-OTFS system by exploiting an SM mapper, followed by characterizing the doubly-selective channels considered. Then we propose a distance-based ordering subspace check detector (DOSCD) exploiting the \emph{a priori} information of the transmit symbol vector. Moreover, we derive the discrete-input continuous-output memoryless channel (DCMC) capacity of the system. Finally, our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed SM-OTFS system outperforms the conventional single-input-multiple-output (SIMO)-OTFS system, and that the DOSCD conceived is capable of striking an attractive bit error ratio (BER) vs. complexity trade-off.

This paper presents a low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) modulation scheme and demodulation method for low-cost terminals in sixth-generation (6G), which is called one plus delay (1 + D) pi/2(N + 1) BPSK. Explicitly, the modulation scheme is first generated based on pi/2 BPSK, then proceeded by interpolation and (1 + D) transformation. Simulation results show that the proposed (1 + D) pi/2(N + 1) BPSK scheme has lower PAPR and smaller out-of-band leakage in discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM). Moreover, better performance can be attained by increasing the value of N. Finally, similar block error ratio (BLER) performance can be obtained at the same spectral efficiency of the conventional pi/2 BPSK scheme.

In this paper, a novel modulation and multiplexing technology for reducing out-of-band leakage is proposed for multicarrier schemes based on CP-OFDM. The proposed method is to spread data of N layers with N selected spreading codes, then multiplex them into a data sequence and transmit it on 2K subcarriers. The N spreading codes, which can suppress out-of-band leakage, are selected out from a complete set of mutual orthogonal spreading codes. The simulation results show that the data modulation and multiplexing technology effectively reduces interference with neighboring frequency bands or adjacent sub-bands for different numerologies and so significantly improves spectrum efficiency.
