to the assignment and sharing of radio resources among UEs 

SC-FDMA 

Single-Carrier FDMA is a frequency-division multiple access scheme, dealing 
with the assignment of multiple users to a shared communication resource. 
Used in LTE for UE transmissions to the eNodeB 

SDR 

Software Defined Radio 

TDD 

Time-Division Duplexing. A transceiver mode where the transmitter and 
receiver operate on the same carrier frequency
