The nature of future wireless applications demands high data rates. Naturally dealing with ever-unpredictable ireless channel at high data rate communications is not an easy task. The idea of multi-carrier transmission has surfaced recently to be used for combating the hostility of wireless channel and providing high data rate communications. OFDM is a special form of multi-carrier transmission where all the subcarriers are orthogonal to each other. OFDM promises a high user data rate transmission capability at a reasonable complexity and precision.
