            Abstract : 
The growing demand for wireless communication makes it important to determine the capacity limits of the different multicarrier systems. In this paper, we address the impact of imperfect inter-cell synchronization on the average capacity of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and filter bank based multicarrier (FBMC) multi-cellular networks. Based on computing the moment generating functions of the asynchronous interference power, a simple new expression for the exact evaluation of the average capacity is derived considering the frequency correlation fading between adjacent interfering subcarriers.
