Threat Modeling for ML Systems

Comparitive Analysis across various multicarrier modulation techniques.

Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC) modulation is compared with OFDM and SC-FDMA across multiple channels, showing lower PAPR and BER, and improved performance in Rayleigh, Rician, and Double Selective channels.
