Experimental performance evaluation of a 5G spectrum sharing scenario based on field-measured channels

In this paper, an experimental performance evaluation is carried out within a communication scenario that features two of the key enablers of 5G: (i) the use of post-OFDM modulations and (ii) an efficient use of the spectrum via spectrum sharing. The experimental lab set-up has been assembled so as to operate in conditions as realistic as possible via the actual realtime implementation of the involved transceivers and also via the utilization of...
