Abstract
In the context of Third-Generation Partnership Project Long-Term Evolution (3GPP LTE), the target data rates are 100 Mb/s in downlink and 50 Mb/s in uplink, and other system features include flexible bandwidths and moderate power consumption of mobile terminals. While the previous 3GPP generations, namely, 3G UMTS and 3.5G HSPA, rely on code-division multiple access (CDMA), LTE adopts orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA)-based technologies for its uplink and downlink. Due to high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of OFDMA signals, the single- carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA), also known as discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-spread OFDMA, has been selected for the uplink transmission in 3GPP LTE systems. SC-FDMA has similar throughput performance as OFDMA but with lower PAPR to increase power efficiency and is less sensitive to frequency synchronization errors, which makes it favorable for mobile terminals.
