One important advantage of the OFDM transmission technique is that the intersymbol interference (ISI) can be removed if the channel delay spread is less than he inserted guard interval.
Challenges consist of impairments related to the propagation of the signals themselves, such as insertion loss and intersymbol interference, that are caused by the limited bandwidth and real impedance of the cable itself, plus degradations due to interfering effects, such as echo, near-end crosstalk and far-end crosstalk.
However, when the CP is not long enough, the orthogonality of the subcarriers is lost, causing intercarrier and intersymbol interference (ICI and ISI), and a prefilter is needed at the receiver to shorten the effective channel to appropriate length.
