19. March 2012 - Page 19 - Copyright© 2012 f Channels A Use Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA, or Multi Access OFDM) to combine time division and frequency division. This is achieved by splitting up the carriers into groups to form channels. Each channel can operate independently and therefore can receive packets from many different transmitters at the same time.
