In the upcoming era, the forthcoming sixth-generation (6G) wireless communication network will demand highly efficient technology to support extensive capacity, ultra-high speeds, low latency, scalability, and adaptability. While the current fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication system relies on OFDM technology, the evolution towards a beyond 5G wireless communication system necessitates a new OFDM framework. This study introduces a novel OFDM system that integrates the discrete Contourlet transform. A comparative analysis has been conducted among the proposed system, conventional OFDM, and curvelet-based OFDM systems. The results indicate that the proposed system offers improvements in bit error rate (BER), reduced computational complexity, decreased peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), and enhanced power spectrum density (PSD) when contrasted with both the traditional and curvelet-based systems.
