Abstract: This paper gives an outline of the algorithms and implementation of the main signal processing techniques being developed for 5G wireless communication. The first part contains a review and comparison of six orthogonal and non-orthogonal waveform-generation and modulation schemes: generalized frequency-division multiplexing (GFDM), filter-bank multicarrier (FBMC), universal filtered multicarrier (UFMC), bi-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (BFDM), sparse-code multiple-access (SCMA), and non-orthogo-nal multiple access (NOMA). The second part discusses spatial signal processing algorithms and implementations for massive multiple-input multiple-output (massive-MIMO), 3D beamforming and diversity, and orbital angular momentum (OAM) based multi-plexing. The last part gives an overview of signal processing aspects of other emerging techniques in 5G, such as millimeter-wave, cloud radio access networks, full duplex mode, and digital radio-frequency processing.
