This is due to the fact that the transmit power of the mobile station is concentrated in a small portion of the channel bandwidth and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver input is increased. Cell range extension is also achievable on the downlink (from base station to mobile stations) by allocating more power to carrier groups assigned to distant users. Another interesting feature of OFDMA is that it eases the deployment of networks with a frequency reuse factor of 1, thus eliminating the need for frequency planning.

On channels affected by Rayleigh fading, the BER is known to decrease proportionally to SNR^-d, where SNR designates the signal-to-noise ratio and d designates the system diversity obtained by transmitting the same symbol through d independently faded channels. Diversity is traditionally achieved by repeating the transmitted symbols in time, in frequency or using multiple antennas at the receiver. In the latter case, the diversity gain is compounded to the array gain, consisting of an increase in average receive SNR due to the coherent combination of received signals, which results in a reduction of the average noise power even in the absence of fading.

-5.10.2 MIMO: A typical MIMO system makes use of two or four paths, which requires two or four antennas respectively. In current systems, antenna designs are used which already incorporate two antennas to pick up horizontally and vertically polarized signals created by reflection and refraction to counter the multipath fading effect (polarized diversity).
-WiMAG and 3G LTE (Long Term Evolution) face the same hurdles, and are not imcompatible, SDR handsets might use both to advantage
-B3G (beyond 3G)
-ITU’s goals for IMT-Advanced appear quite bold: A multi-service platform capable of providing per-user bandwidths of 1 Gbps fixed-nomadic and 100 Mbps mobile.
-OFDMA is the core link technology for WiMAX and LTE 4G, but the performance gains must be built upon through an evolution more to do with how networks. The impact of the evolutionary shift to take advantage of the ‘spatial’ and architectural domain of wireless development will be to greatly increase bandwidth density while reducing costs. Suffice it to say that the shift is to a new evolutionary platform with all that this implies: An additional dimension of development that will deliver 3X-10X total network throughput improvement over cellular wireless.
-Compared to TDMA-based systems, it is known that OFDMA leads to a significant cell range extension on the uplink (from mobile stations to base station). This is due to the fact that the transmit power of the mobile station is concentrated in a small portion of the channel bandwidth and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver input is increased. Cell range extension is also achievable on the downlink (from base station to mobile stations) by allocating more power to carrier groups assigned to distant users. Another interesting feature of OFDMA is that it eases the deployment of networks with a frequency reuse factor of 1, thus eliminating the need for frequency planning.
-The performance improvement that results from the use of diversity in wireless communications is well known and often exploited. On channels affected by Rayleigh fading, the BER is known to decrease proportionally to SNR^-d, where SNR designates the signal-to-noise ratio and d designates the system diversity obtained by transmitting the same symbol through d independently faded channels. Diversity is traditionally achieved by repeating the transmitted symbols in time, in frequency or using multiple antennas at the receiver. In the latter case, the diversity gain is compounded to the array gain, consisting of an increase in average receive SNR due to the coherent combination of received signals, which results in a reduction of the average noise power even in the absence of fading.
