What is OFDM and SC FDMA in LTE?

LTE is based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with cyclic prefix (CP) in the downlink, and on Single-Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) with cyclic prefix in the uplink. It supports both FDD and TDD duplex modes for transmission on paired and unpaired spectrum.

How is 5G modulated?

Phase shift keying: 5G technology implements quadrature phase shift keying, QPSK as the lowest order modulation format . Although this will provide the slowest data throughput it will also provide the most robust link and as such it can be used when signal levels are low or when interference is high.

Is OFDMA modulation technique?

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a modulation technique that is used in several applications ranging from cellular systems (3GLTE, WiMAX), wireless local area networks (LANs), digital audio radio, underwater communications, and even optical light modulation.

What modulation does 4G use?

The digital modulation techniques used by 4G LTE networks are Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) and Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) . Higher QAM modulation order, larger bandwidths and superior antenna techniques (MIMO) allow LTE to offer higher data rates. LTE Advanced networks use 256 QAM.
