     * \brief Create frequency domain OFDM symbols from complex values, add pilots.
     * \ingroup ofdm_blk
     *
     * This block turns a stream of complex, scalar modulation symbols into vectors
     * which are the input for an IFFT in an OFDM transmitter. It also supports the
     * possibility of placing pilot symbols onto the carriers.
     *
     * The carriers can be allocated freely, if a carrier is not allocated, it is set
     * to zero. This allows doing OFDMA-style carrier allocations.
     *
     * Input: A tagged stream of complex scalars. The first item must have a tag
     *        containing the number of complex symbols in this frame.
     * Output: A tagged stream of complex vectors of length fft_len. This can directly
     *         be connected to an FFT block. Make sure to set this block to 'reverse'
     *         for the IFFT and to deactivate FFT shifting.
     *
     * Carrier indexes are always such that index 0 is the DC carrier (note: you should
     * not allocate this carrier). The carriers below the DC carrier are either indexed
     * with negative numbers, or with indexes larger than fft_len/2. Index -1 and index
     * fft_len-1 both identify the carrier below the DC carrier.
