OFDM Overview
 OFDM (Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) is essentially a FDM.
 Multiple orthogonal frequencies are used to achieve data transmission
on a greater bandwidth.
 OFDM subcarriers are overlapping and orthogonal, greatly improving

Unicast transmission
The signal of neighbor cells (P2,P3) and
noise(N) can be a interference resource to
the useful signal(P1).
MBSFN transmission
The UE combine signals of neighbor cells
(P2,P3) and serving cell (P1), get a high
MBSFN gain compare with uni-cast.
 Unicast transmission is used for normal LTE service
 MBSFN transmission is used for eMBMS service.
