Abstract

See full text

Technology is discussed for increasing the spectral efficiency of an Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol. Spectral efficiency can be increased by adding information to a band edge of the OFDM symbol in connection with measures taken to reduce OOB spectral leakage from the OFDM symbol. Spectral leakage reduction measures can include application of a tapering window to at least a portion of OFDM data in the time domain to reduce power in side-lobes in the frequency domain. In some examples, such measures can comprise reducing transmission power at certain frequencies for a set of adjacent sub-carriers within the OFDM symbol at or near the band edge of the OFDM symbol. The additional bandwidth at the OFDM symbol can be used for many different applications, such as, without limitation, Device-to-Device (D2D) communication and/or Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication.
