Orthogonality Principle
Vector space
A, B and C vectors in
space are orthogonal to
each other
A.B=B.C=C.A=0
(A+B+C).A=(mod A)^2
(A+B+C).B=(mod B)^2
(A+B+C).C=(mod C)^2

OFDM-FDMA (OFDMA)
The
Advantages of OFDMA
Multi-user
Diversity
Multi-user Diversity
use of Spectrum
4/3 Hz per symbol
Receiver Simplicity
It eliminates the intra-cell interference avoiding
CDMA type of multi-user detection
Orthogonality of code destroyed by selective
fading
Only FFT processor is required
Bit Error Rate performance is better only in Fading
environment
Disadvantages of OFDMA
x(t )
PAPR

avg
Synchronization
Tight Synchronization between users are
required for FFT in receiver
Pilot signals are used for synchronizations
Co-channel interference
Future works
