The considered system includes a reference mobile perfectly synchronized with its reference base station (BS) and K interfering BSs. Both synchronization errors and high-power amplifier (HPA) distortions will be considered and a theoretical analysis of the interference signal will be conducted. On the basis of this analysis, we will derive an accurate expression of signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio (SINR) and bit error rate (BER) in the presence of a frequency-selective channel. In order to reduce the computational complexity of the BER expression, we applied an interesting lemma based on the moment generating function of the interference power. Finally, the proposed model is evaluated through computer simulations which show a high sensitivity of the asynchronous FBMC-based multi-cellular network to HPA nonlinear distortions.

	abstract = {Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC) is an efficient multicarrier modulation characterized by its good spectral efficiency and low out of band leakage. Nevertheless, FBMC signals suffer from the high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR). This leads nonlinear devices such as Power Amplifiers, when used, to operate in their saturation region which may severely impair system performance. In this paper, we propose a PAPR reduction technique based on the combination of Hadamard transform with the exponential companding transform. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can offer better PAPR reduction than exponential companding and Hadamard transforms when used separately.},
