Filter Band Multicarrier Based Transmission Technology for Clinical EEG Signals

Abstract

A transmission scheme is proposed based on filter band multicarrier (FBMC) transmission technology for clinical electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The proposed scheme integrates binary phase shift keying (BPSK) and offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OQAM), an FBMC transmission mechanism, and low-density parity-check code (LDPC) error protection in an FBMC-based EEG mobile communication system. The proposed EEG mobile communication system employs high-speed transmission, with schemes providing significant error protection for mobile communication of clinical EEG signals requiring a stringent bit-error rate (BER). The performances of BERs and mean square errors (MSEs) of the proposed EEG mobile communication system were explored. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme is a superior transmission platform as compared to existing schemes for clinical EEG signals.
