than that of the Nyquist signal, because the number of symbols in the FTN signal is larger than that in the Nyquist signal for the same time interval. Hence, to evaluate the performance of an FTN-based transmission system properly, the performance evaluation criterion should be carefully set, and conversion formulas among the criteria which are used in Nyquist-based system should also be applied attentively. In this paper, the performance evaluation criteria of the FTN-based transmission system is analyzed and a valid way to set the criteria is proposed.
