OFDMA is a cellular air interface technology that uses orthogonal frequency division multiplexing to allow multiple users to access the network simultaneously over subsets of subcarriers. It provides superior air interfaces to CDMA and TDMA and is used in networks like WiMAX and LTE. OFDMA assigns subsets of subcarriers to individual users, whereas OFDM allocates users only in the time domain. OFDM uses a large number of subcarrier signals to carry parallel data streams.
