Filter control apparatus and method for filter bank multi-carrier technique in wireless communication system

A method for operating a receiving node in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

• transmitting, to a transmitting node, control information indicating a set of filter interleaving patterns including a first filter pattern and a second filter pattern;
• receiving, from the transmitting node, a first filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) symbol generated by applying filters to subcarriers based on the first filter pattern;
• and
• receiving, from the transmitting node, a second FBMC symbol generated by applying the filters to the subcarriers based on the second filter pattern.

An apparatus for operating a transmitting node in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a transceiver configured to:
• receive, from a receiving node, control information indicating a set of filter interleaving patterns including a first filter pattern and a second filter pattern;
• transmit, to the receiving node, a first filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) symbol generated by applying filters to subcarriers based on the first filter pattern;
• and
• transmit, to the receiving node, a second FBMC symbol generated by applying the filters to the subcarriers based on the second filter pattern.
