No, the number of subcarriers and FFT size can be different as long a
subcarriers are less than the FFT size. Usually the channel dictates how you
populate the bins; for eg: in a high doppler channel the data subcarriers are
usually interlaced with "OFF" subcarriers. hope this helps

is whether the no of subcarriers and the IFFT size should be equal or not?
