Abstract

Interference at the radio receiver is a key source of degradation in quality of service of wireless communication systems. In this paper, we address the impact of imperfect inter-cell synchronization on the performance of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and filter bank based multicarrier (FBMC) multi-cellular networks. Based on computing the moment generating functions of the asynchronous interference power, a useful analytical method for computing the average error rates is derived considering the frequency correlation fading between adjacent interfering subcarriers.
