What is OFDM used for?

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is another widely used modulation method used to achieve high data rates and spectral efficiency . It is known as a multicarrier modulation method as many carriers are used instead of just one.

What is OFDMA and how it works?

OFDMA follows a set of rules created for the transmission of data between more than one terminal (any device at the end of a transmission channel, such as a computer or phone) over a transmission medium (such as a wireless network). An example of how OFDMA works is when two phones send data over the same phone line.

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

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.
