What is orthogonal OFDMA is the multi-user variant of the OFDM scheme where multiple access is achieved by assigning subsets of time-
frequency division frequency resources to different users, allowing simultaneous data transmission from several users. In OFDMA, the
multiple access radio resources are 2D regions over time (an integer number of OFDM symbols) and frequency (a number of contiguous
technology or non-contiguous subcarriers). Similar to OFDM, OFDMA employs multiple closely spaced subcarriers that are
divided into groups of subcarriers where each group is called a resource block. The grouping of subcarriers into groups
of resource blocks is referred to as sub-channelization. The subcarriers that form a resource block do not need to be
physically adjacent. In the downlink, a resource block may be allocated to different users. In the uplink, a user may be
assigned to one or more resource blocks. Sub-channelization defines subchannels that can be allocated to mobile
stations depending on their channel conditions and service requirements. Using sub-channelization, within the same
time slot (i.e., an integer number of OFDM symbols) an OFDMA system can allocate more transmit power to user
devices with lower SNR and less power to user devices with higher SNR. Sub-channelization also enables the base
station to allocate higher power to sub-channels assigned to indoor mobile terminals resulting in better indoor coverage.
In OFDMA, an OFDM symbol is constructed of subcarriers, the number of which is determined by the FFT size. There
are several subcarrier types: (1) data subcarriers are used for data transmission, (2) pilot or reference-signal subcarriers
are utilized for channel estimation and coherent detection, and (3) null subcarriers that are not used for pilot/data
transmission. The null subcarriers including the DC subcarrier (if it exists) are used for guard bands. The number of
used (or occupied) subcarriers is always less than the FFT size. The guard bands are used to allow spectrum sharing
and to reduce the adjacent channel interference and OOB emissions. The sampling frequency is selected to be greater

 than or equal the channel bandwidth. The number of time samples in a radio frame is always an integer and to further
simplify the design of analog transmit filter, the sampling frequency is scaled by a factor greater than one (e.g., in LTE,
the sampling frequency for 20 MHz bandwidth is 30.72 MHz).
