What is cyclic prefix in LTE?
A cyclic prefix is created to prevent intersymbol interference (ISI) when an OFDM signal is transmitted in a dispersive channel. As shown in Figure 13.5, the cyclic prefix (CP) is essentially an identical copy of the last portion of the OFDM symbol appended before the OFDM symbol.
What are the main benefits of spread spectrum system?
The main advantage of spread spectrum communication technique is to prevent “interference” whether it is intentional or unintentional. The signals modulated with these techniques are hard to interfere and cannot be jammed. An intruder with no official access is never allowed to crack them.
