Single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) is a new multiple access scheme which utilizes single carrier modulation, orthogonal frequency multiplexing, and frequency domain equalization. SC-FDMA is currently adopted as the uplink multiple access scheme in 3rd Generation Partnership Project Long Term Evolution (3GPP LTE) and it has drawn great attention as an attractive alternative to OFDMA.
This workshop will bring together researchers exploring SC-FDMA at the physical and MAC layers. They will present new results, describe work in progress, and explore relationships among their diverse approaches. There will be talks and posters for brief presentation of new ideas and it will conclude with a lively panel and audience debate on what it all means and where it is going.
