Abstract :
The use of OFDM-based multiple access schemes is highly regarded for future generations of communication systems. These systems are expected to support a variety of services and provide mobility in a large coverage area, which includes several different environments. In this work, a subsurface environment represented by a tunnel is considered, and its peculiarities are confronted with the characteristics of this multicarrier modulation scheme
