Difference Between OFDM and FDM in LTE

FDM in LTE Conventional multi-carrier operation as it is used for FDM works simply by selecting a number of center frequencies – one for each carrier to be used. The center frequencies must be spaced. In fact there is a trade-off between minimizing interference between different carriers and using the total  bandwidth efficiently. In other … Read more

Notion of Orthogonality in LTE

In FDM, the sub-carriers are separated in the frequency domain to avoid interference between the sub-channels It results in a loss of spectrum efficiency because the frequency guard band can not be used to send data. The OFDM allows one to remove the frequency guard band.   Benefit: There are more sub-carriers, so more symbols … Read more
