Abstract
Access to multiple non-contiguous spectrum bands for non-synchronous users is foreseen as essential by some transmission scenarios of the generation of cellular networks (5G). Filterbank Multicarrier modulation (FBMC) has been envisaged because of its ability to give an efficient answer to these requirements. This paper introduces and evaluates the performance of a frequency agile time synchronization solution adapted to FBMC asynchronous transmission on fragmented spectrum. The detection of the start of burst is solely made in the frequency domain assuming that the fast Fourier transform of the receiver is not synchronized. The proposed algorithms have a particular interest for real time implementation when Machine Type Communication applications are considered. This latter scenario is sometimes considered as one of the most challenging for 5G.
