JSCC-UFMC in Multi-User Antenna Diversity Using Hybrid Beamforming for Millimeter Wave Wireless Communications

Joint source and channel coding (JSCC) has been found to be effective in ensuring better link reliability and quality of service (QoS) while using the already scarce spectrum efficiently. For better spectrum management, universal filter multi-carrier (UFMC) has been receiving greater attention for achieving high throughput. Multi-user (MU) multi-input multi-output (MIMO) antenna diversity has already been accepted to be a key element and also for upscaling data rates, while millimeter wave (MMW) has been regarded to be a critical technology for 5G wireless communication. In this paper, JSCC and UFMC have been deployed over a MUMIMO antenna diversity aided by hybrid beamforming. The composite setup is experimented with a range of scenarios including the adoption of the framework in a MMW arrangement. Experimental results involving peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), power spectral density (PSD) and bit error rate (BER) have shown improvement in performance. Further, there is an increase in reliability in data recovery and channel capacity.
