Single-sideband (SSB) modulation through Hilbert transformation has successfully transmitted data using only half the bandwidth of the traditional scheme for the same amount of contained information. Toward this end, the four single-sideband (4-SSB) approach for high order modulation is a promising approach for the next-generation communications by applying soft-input soft-output (SISO) equalizer algorithms over orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). However, OFDM is challenging for realizing the feasible 5G communications, compared to the emerging techniques, e.g., non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), orthogonal multiple access (OMA) or multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). Since the 4-SSB is an orthogonal modulation which was successfully applied over the traditional OFDM, in this article, we propose a novel 4-SSB modulation scheme over OFDM Guard Interval (GI) and massive MIMO. Besides the carrier signal, from the receiver side, we also apply the shadow equalizer algorithm in the uncoded and coded environment using turbo codes to achieve the 4-SSB with high efficiency from low complexity and energy consumption for 5G. The evaluation results validate that our system consumes lower energy due to low complexity gained from same number of iterations without the heavy decoding as of the 4-SSB SISO based on the turbo equalizer. In addition, the 4-SSB over the OFDM GI achieves the best performance among the relevant approaches conducted in 4-SSB. The proposal then acts as a practical communication system designed to solve the inter-symbol interference (ISI) induced by additional Hilbert transform in the wireless environment toward fifth generation (5G), given that turbo code is considered as a potential channel coding scheme for 5G radio specification.

This paper proposes a study of performances of the Orthogonal Four Single Sideband elements modulation previously proposed by Ohta [1]. Realistic parameters such as receiver noise and various channel effects are introduced in the derivation of the modulation. Transmission of two QPSK signals multiplexed in one 4-SSB (Single Sideband) signal over OFDM (Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing) is considered and a demodulation process exploiting a turbo equalizer is presented. Computer simulations are used to verify the performances of the proposed modulation scheme. Results show that 4-SSB QPSK signal over OFDM can achieve performances close to QPSK-OFDM scheme while carrying twice more information, provided perfect channel equalization. However, we also show that in a non-ideal equalization case, performances of 4-SSB QPSK OFDM become highly sensitive to channel effects.
