EN New spectrum bands together with flexible spectrum management are treated as one of the key technical enablers for achievement of the so-called key-performance indicators defined for 5G wireless networks. In this paper, we deal with the small-scale spectrum aggregation and sharing, where a set of even very narrow and disjoint frequency bands closely located on the frequency axis can be utilized simultaneously. We first discuss how such a scheme can be applied to various multicarrier systems, focusing on the non-contiguous orthogonal frequency division multiplexing and non-contiguous filter-bank multicarrier technique. We propose an interference model that takes into account the limitations of both transmitter and receiver frequency selectivity, and apply it to our 5G link-optimization framework, what differentiates our work from other standard approaches to link adaptation. We present the results of hardware experiments to validate assumed theoretical interference models. Finally, we solve the optimization problem subject to the constraints of maximum interference induced to the protected legacy systems (GSM and UMTS). Results confirm that small-scale spectrum aggregation can provide high throughput even when the 5G system operates in a dense heterogeneous network.
