An abstract of the presentation and a short CV of the speakers follow:

Abstract:

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is widely used today in wireless communications standards. Its success is due to its robustness to multipath, its ability to leverage multiuser diversity and the low-complexity implementation with the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). However, it has several disadvantages, such as sensitivity to synchronization, phase noise or rapidly varying channels, and a very high dynamic range. Even though these disadvantages have been over-compensated by the clear advantages, the question arises whether OFDM is still a good waveform for the next generation of wireless communications. This talk presents some of the existing solutions to these problems and offers a perspective of recently proposed multicarrier waveforms and the suitable channel estimation and compensation or RF impairments that may be more suited to the new challenges while maintaining the desirable features of OFDM.
