Which processing artifact increases when OFDM signal processing inadequately mitigates inter-carrier interference?

💡 Explanation

Bit error rate increases because inter-carrier interference overwhelms the subcarrier orthogonality enforced by the Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT); therefore, data corruption occurs, rather than bandwidth inefficiency, signal power degradation, or increased cyclic prefix, different consequences.
