Direct Fourier Transform spread OFDM, commonly abbreviated to DFT-s-OFDM, is an SC or single carrier-like transmission scheme that can be combined with OFDM that gives significant flexibility for a mobile communications system like 5G. It is more commonly known as SC-FDMA .
Read moreWhy SC-FDMA is used in?
SC-FDMA is preferred for LTE uplink mainly due to its advantage of having low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) during signal transmission. The performance of SC-FDMA depends on modulation scheme used for it.
Read moreIs 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.
Read moreWhat 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.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is an efficient modulation format used in modern wireless communication systems including 5G.16 Nis 2020
Read moreDoes 5G use SC-FDMA?
Unlike LTE, 5G NR also supports CP-OFDM in the uplink direction. But LTE’s discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM) uplink scheme, better known as single carrier frequency division multiplex (SC-FDMA), is still a valid access scheme and support is mandatory for any 5G terminal.
Read moreWhich multiple access technique is used in 5G?
Non-orthogonal multiple access, NOMA : NOMA is one of the techniques being considered as a 5G multiple access scheme. NOMA superposes multiple users in the power domain, using cancellation techniques to remove the more powerful signal.
