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
Read moreHow 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.
Read moreIs 5G NR supports OFDM?
5G NR supports a wide variety of use cases, and the OFDM numerologies help with supporting these use cases effectively . When higher frequency bands are used, the Doppler shift increases. An increased Doppler shift means increased Inter Carrier Interference (ICI).
