What kind of multiplexing does LTE use?

To overcome the effect of multi path fading problem available in UMTS, LTE uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) for the downlink – that is, from the base station to the terminal to transmit the data over many narrow band careers of 180 KHz each instead of spreading one signal over the complete 5MHz …

What is LTE raster?

The center frequency of an LTE carrier is assumed to be on a 100 kHz channel raster (known also as carrier grid) in order to allow the LTE UEs to search a limited number of carrier frequencies in the frequency bands they support and synchronize within a reasonable amount of time after being activated.18 May 2018

What is channel bandwidth in LTE?

In 3GPP the channel bandwidth is defined as the occupied bandwidth of a modulated waveform which corresponds to the frequency range containing 99% of the total power of the modulated signal . An LTE-M-U narrowband of 6 PRBs have a 1.4 MHz channel bandwidth according to this definition which is reused by ETSI.
