OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
OFDM is a method of digital modulation in which a signal is split into several narrowband
channels at different frequencies.
QAM Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
QAM is a method of combining two Amplitude-Modulated (AM) signals into a single
channel, thereby doubling the effective bandwidth.
LoS Line-of-Sight (Clear Line-of-Sight and Fresnel zone is clear)
nLoS near-Line-of-Sight (Clear Line-of-Sight, but Fresnel zone is blocked)
