What is difference between OFDM and GFDM?

Started by Unknown April 1, 2015
Hi,

I am trying to understand the difference(s) between OFDM and GFDM which are
used as a multicarrier modulation techniques in wireless communication. As
far as I know the OFDM uses the orthogonal subcarriers and the GFDM is with
the  non-orthogonal subcarriers when designing a transmitter. 

Could anyone please explain further about their design and differences?
What is the purpose of using GFDM when designing a transmitter?

In GFDM, how does the IFFT block work when creating the subcarriers?

Thanks in Advance!

If I knew what GFDM was, I would. -- www.wescottdesign.com

Have you looked at http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ofdm+vs+gfdm The fifth reference looks like a starting point. Whether that helps depends on what /kind/ of difference interests you, and on whether you have already seen the paper.
