Numerical Investigation of Long-Haul Coherent Optical Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing Signal

Generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) is a recent physical layer scheme proposed for next-generation cellular systems. Like orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), it is based on multicarrier modulation, but the filter shape is no longer rectangular (roll off ≠ 0)...

description Generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) is a recent physical layer scheme proposed for next-generation cellular systems. Like orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), it is based on multicarrier modulation, but the filter shape is no longer rectangular (roll off &#x2260; 0) and the orthogonality between subcarriers is lost. With higher flexibility, low peak to average power ratio (PAPR) and reduced out-of-band emissions compared with OFDM, GFDM modulation is an attractive candidate for 5G application scenarios. This paper explores the performance of 10 Gb&#x002F;s GFDM system over the optical link in terms of PAPR, quality factor (<italic>Q</italic> factor), and mean squared error using a third-order adaptive Volterra filter with 3 and 5 taps. The impact of linear impairments (chromatic dispersion, polarization mode dispersion), laser line width, and Mach&#x2013;Zehnder non-linearity have been addressed. The results of our simulations indicate that the transmitted 10 Gb&#x002F;s GFDM signal through an optical fiber can reach 930 Km and <italic>Q</italic> &#x003D; 11.9 dB after 700 Km at &#x2013;8 dBm of launch power using 5 taps third-order adaptive Volterra equalizer with an improvement of approximately 210 Km and 1.25 dB compared with the same equalizer with 3 taps.
