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.

5G Cellular Technology Tutorial Includes: OFDM gives good spectral efficiency whilst providing resilience to selective fading and it also enables multiple access capability to be implemented using OFDMA .
