Which path used SC-FDMA in LTE?

SC-FDMA is widely used in LTE subscriber terminals in the transmit path and variant OFDMA is used in the eNodeB downlink(or receive path of LTE subscriber).

As a result, LTE uses a modulation scheme known as SC-FDMA – Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiplex which is a hybrid format.

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.17 Şub 2020
