    OFDM is a digital multi-carrier modulation technique that divides the available spectrum into multiple orthogonal subcarriers. It introduces a cyclic prefix to combat inter-symbol interference from multipath delay spread. If the channel is slowly time varying, the OFDM block length can be larger than the delay spread but smaller than the coherence time to mitigate both inter-symbol interference and frequency uncertainty from Doppler spread. Examples of technologies that use OFDM include flash OFDM and LTE cellular networks.

    Cyclic Prefix Overhead

    • If the channel is slowly time varying, then the coherence


    time TC is much larger than the delay spread TD (underspread
    channel scenario).
    • In such a case, the block length of OFDM NC can be chosen
    significantly larger than the multipath length L=TDW, but
    still smaller than the coherence block length TCW.
    • In OFDM within frequency domain, the block length NC
    corresponds to an inter-sub-carrier spacing of W/NC.
    • The Doppler spread introduces frequency uncertainty.
    Doppler spread is inversely proportional to the coherence
