The first OFDM frame signal includes a grid of multiple frequency subcarriers and time periods, each time period with the frequency carriers corresponding to a first OFDM symbol such that the first OFDM frame includes first OFDM symbols. A first OFDM symbol is carried on frequency subcarriers during a time period, and the first OFDM frame includes first reference OFDM symbols located at corresponding time-frequency resource elements in the grid. Each resource element is defined by a one of the frequency subcarriers and one of the time periods.

  • Patent number: 10187240
    Abstract: A system and method that scrambles the phase characteristic of a carrier signal are described. The scrambling of the phase characteristic of each carrier signal includes associating a value with each carrier signal and computing a phase shift for each carrier signal based on the value associated with that carrier signal. The value is determined independently of any input bit value carried by that carrier signal. The phase shift computed for each carrier signal is combined with the phase characteristic of that carrier signal so as to substantially scramble the phase characteristic of the carrier signals. Bits of an input signal are modulated onto the carrier signals having the substantially scrambled phase characteristic to produce a transmission signal with a reduced PAR.

  • Patent number: 10187239
    Abstract: It is possible to reduce the PAPR of an amplified signal communicated over bonded channels by applying different phase shifts to control fields communicated over the bonded channels. The phase shifts reduce the amount of constructive interaction between the control fields by shifting the peaks of the respective signals in the time domain. The control fields may include short training fields (STFs), channel estimation (CE) fields, or header fields communicated over bonded channels.
