UL Allocation (SC-FDMA) in LTE
SC-FDMA utilizes single carrier modulation, DFT-spread orthogonal frequency multiplexing, and frequency domain equalization. LTE uses OFDMA on the DL. It allocates DL bandwidth to the user based on resource blocks, rather than individual subcarriers. When the signal is a combination of subcarriers, high amplitude power peaks can occur. The base stations power amplifiers are designed … Read more
