CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS BASED COMPUTATIONALLY EFFICIENT METHOD FOR EQUALIZATION IN FBMC-OQAM SYSTEM

A filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC)-offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OQAM) system is disclosed. The FBMC-OQAM system includes a processing circuitry which is configured to receive a signal over a transmission medium, equalize the signal by a convolution neural network (CNN) equalizer, wherein the CNN equalizer is configured to estimate the received signal without performing channel estimation, and output the estimated signal as a bit stream.
