In the present scenario, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveform technique is playing a significant part in smart hospitals. Still, its impact is not effective in smart hospitals due to the numerous limitations such as loss of bandwidth due to the use of guard band, spectrum leakage, high peak to average power (PAPR), high detection delay, and thus along. Right now, fifth-generation (5G) employment is becoming regularized around the world and the state-of-the-art radio system is expected to meet all the demands of smart hospitals. High spectrum access, massive capacity, high throughput, and low PAPR are the requirements of smart healthcare hospitals. The digital hospital has seen tremendous progression in bandwidth requirements. From transmitting medical images to wearable devices, networks must operate at maximum speeds to safeguard patient care. The selection of competent transmission technologies will play an important role in the regularization of digital hospitals equipped with 5G. In the projected work, we focus on the implementation of novel waveforms such as Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), Universal filter multi-carrier (UFMC), and filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) system. Several parameters such as power spectrum density, bit error rate, capacity, and PAPR of advanced waveforms and OFDM methods are analyzed and studied.
