OFDMA
•OFDM Modulation
• SC-FDMA operates with a lower Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) than OFDM
- High PAPR requires expensive and inefficient power amplifiers
TDD
• transmission in uplink and downlink is at the same carrier frequency
• is a good option where spectrum (carriers) availability is lower
• is necessary when pair spectrum is not available

Testing LTE TDD: Where to Begin?
• LTE complexity introduces more than
10x configurations to test
- Testing every scenario is not practical
- Use
