I know LTE doesn't use the DC subcarrier for OFDM/OFDMA modulation for the downlink, but no author gives a detailed explanation to this stuff.
Can you tell me the reason behind it?
Thank you!

The DC subcarrier is normally omitted because in a zero-IF receiver it overlaps with DC offsets in the hardware which are very difficult to remove.
