Abstract: Fifth generation (5G) remote advancements face a few difficulties in order to help huge heterogeneous traffic and users. Novel modulation and multiple access methods are being created to satisfy the needs of 5G networks. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is the existing modulation technology used in 4G networks. Its OOB emission is high because the signal is time-restricted. A novel modulation technique called orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation is used to support time-varying channels. It is used for time-varying channels with high Doppler spread. It multiplexes QAM information symbols in a new signal representation called the delay-Doppler representation. The multiple access scheme which is fundamental to all preceding and existing wireless communication networks is orthogonal multiple access (OMA). But OMA can support only a restricted number of users due to restrictions in the number of resource blocks which limits spectral efficiency. To support dissimilar classes and an enormous number of users various non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) methods are used.
