How OFDM works

It distributes the data over a large numbe


r of carriers that are spaced apart at preci
se frequencies. This spacing provides the "
orthogonality" in this technique which prev
ents the demodulators from seeing freque
ncies other than their own.

MIMO-OFDM 

V-OFDM 

W-OFDM 

Flash-OFDM 

Developed by Iospan Wireless 
Uses multiple antennas to transmit 
and receive radio signals
Spatial multiplexing 
V-OFDM
Vector OFDM 
Developed by CISCO 
Increases subscriber coverage 
Lowers the cost of provisioning and deploy 
ing infrastructure
