How does OFDMA work in 5G?

With OFDMA, multiple users are assigned access to subsets or subcarriers . The ability to tap into smaller segments of the frequency spectrum with timed functionality will become even more important in 5G, where data will travel on millimeter waves.7 Nis 2017

What hardware does 5G use?

The 5G RU is hardware-based for the data plane. It consists of an RF transmitter and a LO PHY block, typically implemented as an FPGA or an ASIC optimized for packet management. It operates at wireline speed and can deliver latencies of less than 1 ms.

Is OFDM a modulation?

OFDM in its primary form is considered as a digital modulation technique , and not a multi-user channel access method, since it is used for transferring one bit stream over one communication channel using one sequence of OFDM symbols.

Why OFDM is used in 4G?

Using multiple carriers, each carrying a low data rate, OFDM is ideal for high speed data transmission because it provides resilience against narrow band fading that occurs as a result of reflections and the general propagation properties at these frequencies .
