Abstract

See full text

An embodiment for wirelessly communicating a signal includes a transmitter combining a plurality of phase shifted input data signals with a plurality of synchronization/pilot sequences to produce a plurality of combined signals, performing frequency domain-to-time domain transformations of the combined signals to produce a plurality of candidate signals, determining peak-to-average ratios for at least some of the plurality of candidate signals, identifying a selected signal from the plurality of candidate signals based on the peak-to-average ratios, and transmitting the selected signal over a wireless communication channel. An embodiment further includes a receiver receiving a channel-affected version of the transmitted, selected signal, determining an estimate of a selective mapping index, which identifies the synchronization/pilot sequence from the plurality of synchronization/pilot sequences, applying corrections to the received signal based on estimated channel perturbations to produce an equalized combined signal, and producing an output data symbol from the equalized combined signal.
