Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
OFDMA stands for ____
A
omnidirectional frequency division multiple access
B
orthogonal frequency duplex multiple access
C
orthogonal frequency divider multiple access
D
orthogonal frequency division multiple access
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) is a multi-user version of the popular orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) digital modulation scheme. Multiple access is achieved in OFDMA by assigning subsets of subcarriers to individual users.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)? Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing is a method of data transmission where a single information stream is split among several closely spaced narrowband subchannel frequencies instead of a single Wideband channel frequency.

Detailed explanation-3: -In OFDM, the subcarrier frequencies are chosen so that the subcarriers are orthogonal to each other, meaning that crosstalk between the sub-channels is eliminated and inter-carrier guard bands are not required.

Detailed explanation-4: -Orthogonal multiple access (MA) techniques harmonize the access of multiple users to the network, thus preventing the collision of transmissions from different users.
