"This paper evaluates the capacity of weighted circularly convolved FBMC/OQAM systems. A rigorous mathematical model is derived to calculate the increase of capacity that can be obtained thanks to the lattice structure of the modulation and the exploitation of the intrinsic interference. The numerical results reveal that a signal to noise ratio gain of 2dB is obtained in one resource block of 12 subcarriers, translating into a capacity increase of 11% with respect to OFDM, which nuances some previous results on this topic in the literature."
